What started as a pen and ink sketch at Thursday's Art Mob event, is now an acrylic painting. I picked two of the three I had sketched, and out them down by negatively painting them with the background color on the panel. During this phase, the shapes of the nutcrackers emerge. When I use acrylics, I use them straight (with no water added) with an almost dry brush technique. This allows me to layer the strokes, creating a depth with the rich pigment. My favorite acrylic paint? Well, right now it is Liquitex heavy body, but it was Golden for many years. I have so much paint - I wonder if I will ever be able to use up all the tubes of acrylic in my cabinet! This painting is the 1403rd painting in 1403 days :)
