Acrylics Too

Apple, Bullet: acrylic

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 coupleĀ  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.

I’ve been using watercolor. Not something I learned in college or used back then when I felt more like an artist. My school was traditional and only taught oil painting. I started to experiment with this medium after my daughter was born and I was (again) trying to squeeze in some art time. I wanted something less toxic and easier to clean. So far it’s a love/hate relationship.
