Hard To Swallow
Acrylic on canvas
The only newer piece up right now, so I think I like this one the most. This is the direction my paintings are going right now.
2003
Those birds are swallows.
I love the style. your work is amazing as usual. the oild driping from her hair, and the top of the canvas, with the smoke pouring from her body is ... lovely?
I paint primarily in Acrylic, but i really enjoy oil for some things and do it when I can.
With Acrylic, i can do layering, broken and uneven color effects, and drybrush technique which i can't do in oil. With acrylic, i can be more spontaneous, work quickly and paint over mistakes immediatly unlike oil.
With Acrylic, i can do glazing/ transparent effects just like oil. I use the "Retarder" medium which SLOWS the drying time to give you more time for smooth blending.
But, Acrylic has properties that make it a unique medium in itself .
With Acrylic you can work on almost ANY surface if prepared properly with a Ground like Gesso. I brush my Gesso down to cover up the painting surface. This is to decrease absorbancy of the board, paper, or canvas. If i like the brushstrokes of the bristle brush when the paint dries, i leave it alone. If there is an area I want smoother, I sand that area with sandpaper.
Some things i want to appear smooth with colors and values blending together perfectly so i paint that way. Using the right brushes help. Some things i paint in a "rough" method or "broken color" effect in contrast.
I'll go back and start posting sizes.
Thanks!!!!!
