Show iv x f Y x J ,,. , 1J . ; i. H . JANICE LEECH shows painting using the "rub out" method of application. The paintings can be made on any sealed surface. New painting style introduced to area A method of oil painting, "rub out," isn't new, but with the advent of quick drying acrylic products, the technique has been greatly improved. "Rub out" painting is done on any light colored sealed surface, and it differs from regular oil painting in that the highlights are lifted on (or rubbed out) with a cotton swab, cotton ball or turp brush. "One of the most delightful things about rub outs," says Janice Leech, teacher of the art form, "is that you finish a picture in one sitting." "The painting is all done 'wet-on-wet', there is very little drying time." With rub out painting, one can frame and hang a picture the same day it is painted. "This method of painting is very versatile," Mrs. Leech said. "It can be country or contemporary, depending on the choice of colors and frames." "It is a type of painting that never discourages the beginner and no matter how advanced you become it is never boring." Mrs. Leech has been interested in painting for many years. She studied "rub out" painting two years in Houston, Texas, and has done many oil paintings. |
