Acrylics

Deadline hovering on the horizon for history illustrations.  Preliminary pastels are still disappointing.  How to get the effect I am after?


“Simples” that blinking television creature whispered in my ear.  Use what you’re used to.  Not watercolour this time, but acrylic.  On my favourite hand-made Indian Khadi paper?

No time for colour trials or any more experiments.  Just do it!
The excitement that the finished paintings generated was tremendous!  However, client has the works now, so can’t show you….sorry!
Can’t wait to see how far I can push this new combination and perhaps try with Two Rivers handmade paper.  Always nice to support British Industry!
