Acrylics… wow, it’s going to take a little while to work the kinks out of this new medium for me. I find the transparent, translucent, and opaque qualities of acrylic a challenge to apply. In this painting I struggled to get the misty feel with the translucent veil application – the tube acrylic didn’t blend easily with the water and I ended up with streaks down the left side. Two things will sort this out: more experience and using fluid acrylics instead of the tubes.
Somehow when I see my work in the small thumbnail format like this I can see the obvious compositional flaws. In this painting I have a tangent in the bottom left corner where the snow bank lines up with the bottom right branch of the tree. While I’m sorting that out I will also rework the branches to give them a bit more variety. Right now they look strangely even in places. If I fix that area and push the values a bit further in a few places I should be happier with the result. I will give this one another go soon and post the results… until then, ciao!
