..a way of producing paintings quickly cos I don't have much time (or patience) -   I've tried oils and love messing with acylics (the texture is great) and can do something I'm happy with in a few hours with those, but cos I'm quite allergy-prone I'm now reacting to the chems coming off them (b*gger!), and water colours are too fiddly, and pastels & pencils take me forever and  don't have the same vividness or impact as paints.
 
So question:   does anyone know anything about techniques with poster paints?
 
Just thought I'd throw it out there, you never know.    other ideas would be interesting as well !  what does everyone else use if you want to do something in few hours?   cheers!  :)

yes carrot 'tis the breathing in that's the problem - if only I could stop it 
 
I have tried basic masks but they are just really uncomfortable and get all sweaty & itchy & hot, and a fan would dry out acrylics on the paper too quickly + paintbrushes would get gunked up with dried paint in no time
 
Have not heard of encaustic art Zodie - will definitely have a look at that.  Beeswax should be ok for me, but if they've added other chems to it that could be a problem.   Worth a try tho - will try anything once

ok, try this
 
one end to the mouth the other to the window. I am not good with masks or goggles either, but perhaps a sub aqua tank and DV? Bit expensive but maybe? Or we used to have small oxygen bottles available in shops, designed for hangover cures (it works a treat by the way, though I was lucky I had access to the real thing lol).

hi Jodie do try to find some one that is demonstating Encaustic Art,I first heard of this from Iced and was lucky to find a craft center that was teaching this craft , i have now taken my first lesson,and will send my first results to my pictures[under on the bright side so watch out for them] and yes it is quick and i am sure you will pick it up quite quickly.try Emailing creativecrafts@ntlworld.com they also have a web site www.creativecraftsuk.com they will be able to tell you more about toxic fumes,for your breathing problems.but please dont stop it could prove fatal.and we need your input.

That's finger painting Sandro
 
Well I work on a PC all day so don't want to do it in my spare time as well, and tho I love computer art, it's not the same as painting, which is much more real to me somehow, more immediate, more tactile
