Nylon, nails and acrylic on wood.

I think I like the details better than the painting…

  1. I’d have to agree with you there, but the effect it has created is astounding, I love it, just for seeing it up-close and seeing the paint wrapped around the string. I think it’s gorgeous.

  5. Damn, I just started out acrylics, and this is great. I wish I could see a speed draw/video of it. I’m really curious how it was done! The bound up look the nails gave is unique, I’d never seen anything like it.
