How does one go about painting a table with a laminate top?


Question by c_patching: How does one go about painting a table with a laminate top?
I have a dining room table that is in dire need of a new coat of paint, but it has what I believe to be a laminate top. Do I need to (or can I even )pry that up? Or can I sand it and paint over it?

Answer by E Y
You need to sand it with a fine sand paper and then prime it. It will then be ready for paint.

      PAINTING FABRIC BY HALL GROAT II – INSTRUCTIONAL DVD TRAILER

      In Painting Fabric Hall introduces several classical approaches for realizing the dynamic form of fabric, through painting elegant sections of white, red and blue cloth. Included within the two-hour DVD are stunning close-up shots of Hall’s classical brushwork, color mixing techniques, in addition to views of his studio as he discusses his paintings at various stages. Through his innovative, step-by-step approach, he outlines the processes that were used by such traditional 19th century painters as Edgar Degas and Edouard Manet. Using a clear and concise teaching approach, Hall reveals the secrets behind creating brilliant paintings of cloth, covering such topics as observing the basic shapes, painting the foundation forms, modeling the fabric folds, contrasting warm and cool colors, and dark and light values. Hall has taught art for over twenty years, and currently is an Professor of Art at a college in New York. ARTNews Magazine critic, Gerard Haggerty, states that Hall Groat II’s still life paintings evoke the big picture that we call art history, including painters like Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, Edwin Dickinson, and his teacher Lennart Anderson.” Collectors of his work have expressed that the work is “Alive, full of grace vitality and beauty, capturing light that is sublime in nature.”

          Is wood-glue good for glueing painting linen on wood?


          Question by peter_jochems_nl: Is wood-glue good for glueing painting linen on wood?
          I am a painter and I like to glue linen on wood to paint on. Is it a good method to glue linen on wood? I want my paintings to be preserved properly in the long run, can the glue damage the painted surface for some reason? What do you think of this method? I like to paint small paintings and I like the hard surface the wood provides this way.

            Blue Table Painting- Dark Heresy Session 01 Part 01

            Burning down the house. This was a tough topic to cover and I thought of perhaps not posting this because of the disturbing nature of “purging” a household. But in the end I decided to start the campaign by dousing the players in the face with some ice cold water. The ugly job of the Inquisition. The idea of Exterminatis is pretty wild: the extinction of an entire world to save other worlds. Let me be clear– I am not expressing my own opinion here, just posing a question. I found this picture of an Iraqi boy who had third degree burns over most of his body and had both his arms blown off during an american bombing run. From the edge of the picture, you can see his mother’s hand reaching in to mop his brow. His eyes were black with pain and lack of sleep. In the caption, it says that he has a 50/50 chance of survival. It made me think: what was worth this? Couldn’t the ambassadors of these nations work things out? This and more on my mind is fueling this game.
