April Showers
5"X7" Acrylic on paper
Actually it has been more like torrential rain followed by howling gale. The photograph I used today was actually taken exactly a year ago, so I guess the weather is pretty seasonal.
I thought I should have another crack at the acrylics despite the fact that they really aren't my favourite medium. I am not sure why, I know plenty of people who much prefer them to oils or watercolours but I can never seem to get them to do what I want.
I like this one Sarah, I would have thought it was oil by looking at it. I also have problems with acrylics, I only use them for the abstract paintings I make with masking tape. I think they set up too fast otherwise.
ReplyDeleteI love acrylics though they can be quite difficult to use. But the very reason why they're frustrating to a lot of people is what attracts me to them. Sometimes speed is the most impt factor to me and acrylics come in very handy.
ReplyDeleteGreat work though.
