Welcome to September, friends! I am back and busy, painting new work in my usual twenty minute segments of time to stay alive in the process and keep Mr. Resistance away. Enter the 30/30 Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta on her blog. (Do go take a look at all the artists signed up. It’s over 700!)
I am ready! Process!
Acrylic paint has never been something I wanted to bother with being primarily an oil painter.
I had a set of colors I thought maybe it was time to put them to the test. Other artists I know love them. I wasn’t so sure I would.
This first work for the 30/30 Challenge was done in twenty minutes with a fairly large brush and a small 8×10 stretched canvas. It’s a scene I’d already painted in watercolors.
My goal was to see how I liked using the acrylics, and if my painting style and techniques would be different.
Honestly, I don’t think the style is very different than my watercolor painting. I worked a little faster because these paints allowed some mixing on the canvas and I used the large brush.
Let’s say I’m not in love. The work got done, so that’s a plus.
