I painted a red hibiscus flower on my friend Eddie's guitar while I was on Molokai last summer. He's a very talented musician and uses this guitar quite frequently when he's performing, so it (the painting) will get lots of exposure around the Islands. I had to do it in layers because of the black color of the guitar. Using an actual fresh blossom for reference and adding liquin to my painting medium to speed up the drying process I was able to do it in about 3 hours...start to finish. Then after letting it cure for 4 days, I coated it with liquin again to seal it up and give the pigments some protection. It's painted with oil pigments mixed with walnut oil, thinner & Liquin so it has some texture, but he's very pleased with the results.
