So this is what has been keeping me busy creatively. I’ve never been inspired to try a landscape painting but I gave it my best after I received a request from a relative. It is large, 3ft x 4ft. I like to work in large scale but this proved to be an ambitious decision since I am not well practiced in the landscape department.
I have been trying out different, less toxic, media. I was trained in oil paint and I’ve been experimenting with watercolor on and off for a couple of years. I figured I should try out acrylic paint too. Here are a couple in the same food and weapons vain.
I will say I don’t like that acrylics dry so fast, it seems wasteful. I don’t usually have large chunks of time to paint… must remember smaller blobs. I do like the bold color and the white! Much more forgiving than watercolor. I am curious about tempera paint, maybe that will be next.
It’s Spring break. Only a few days off of school but we are trying to make the best of them. My daughter likes animals and asks me to paint them. These pieces often turn out very different from anything else I make. Like this bunny, a little fun a little creepy. Happy Spring!
