Here is my latest experiment.

I understand the covering qualities of acrylic paints. I need to explore just how opaque these colours are.

First of all I treated the canvas with an acrylic wash of near black.

I then applied acrylic colours only just slightly dampened with water.

I have now learned a little more about the qualities of acrylic paints.

Here is the result:

Tropical lushness

Wow!!

You have captured this Sea Scape perfectly. I love the colors, the texture and the lumonisity (not spelled right) of the whole picture. I not only like it, I Love it. I will be so happy when you bring some of your pictures into my forum.

GOD BLESS YOU

This was just an experiment.

Painting from a LIVELY animal is VERY difficult. Lulu didn't stop still.

Also, I used gouache which is very strong watercolour, hence, the lack of tonal differences.

This is our 5 month old Lulu puppy.

Painted in about 15 minutes a few days ago.
