Hello,

when im not here on photoshop i love to paint and needed some help on an idea i had for a painting...

i want to do a project that will incorporate lighting and and a three dimensional structure.
So i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on what type or paper or canvas or anything that i could paint onto that would create a somewhat transparent effect. Where the lighting could light up the paint or showthrough the paper...

sorry if this is confusing i tried to explain it best i could, i would love some feed back

Thanks

What type of paint?

i usually paint with acrylics but occasionally use oils
im open to trying new mediums

If yer trying to do what i think yer trying to do.
I tried something like it many years ago..
The one I ended up happy with, used backlighting,
that was actually a finished painting that I had
photographed and printed up,
then backlit the poster.
Came out pretty cool.

Paint on glass, reverse if u know how to do , use oil translucide paint without adding white for instance, just glazes, should be good.

sounds good, but will the paint chip off over time
im going to just experiment with different materials and lighting because the piece im doing probably wont work with glass...oooo actually i just thought of a great way to use glass..
