Watch Start to Finish of the ACrylic
I had a blast working with the students in a recent Plein Air Painting Workshop in Charleston SC! Thank you to all the students who joined me and to Hagan Fine Art Gallery for hosting us at their beautiful location.
ARTIST'S NOTES:
During the workshop, I was working in oil, which is my favorite medium. But lately I have worked a lot in the studio on very large canvases in Acrylics. I'm intrigued...
So, just after our workshop I set out to see if I could use Acrylics in the studio and find a match (or come close) to the vibrancy of the oils. I used one of the little demos I did in the workshop as my test. It's fun to experiment!
I filmed a short time lapse video of the studio Acrylic painting. And I'm posting the finished Acrylic and the Oil paintings for you to see. (with labels)
Which do YOU like best? Can you tell the difference?
I'd love to hear your comments. Email me.

PS: I'm learning a lot about how to record higher quality video. This is not as clear as it should be.
For my next video, I'm going to call on my expert friends in the field Michelle Morton ( MortonMediaDesign.Com) and Allison Hull (Legacy Arts Mgmt) to help me improve this.
