Jagged Edges: Use tile nippers or pliers to nibble off the uneven edge of a broken tile. Rough Edges: Use a round file to smooth rough edges of areas that have been nibbled away. Cut Edges: If a straight-cut edge shows, rub it against a sheet of 80-grit aluminum oxide sandpaper to round and smooth the edge.
The Obamas Choose Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald to Paint Their Official Portraits for the Smithsonian. They will be the first black artists to officially paint a presidential couple. Sarah Cascone, October 13, 2017
The new paintings of the Obamas will be on view to the public beginning Tuesday. Wiley's painting of former President Obama will be permanently installed in the America's Presidents exhibit (The Portrait Gallery has the only complete collection of presidential portraits outside the White House, the museum said in a statement.)
