А work I did for fun the last two weeks. It took me 3-4 seatings for 3 hours each.
I tried out a new brand of acrylics, and they are fine. Still they are not as fun as oils, but there is no way to use solvents in my student dorm. The smell would be terrifying. Also used a slow dry medium for acrylics which helped me have more control over mark making.
As you can see, the surface is really rough - I used a mix of glues, acrylics, and powders to achieve a relief and texture over the paper.
Too bad the lighting conditions for the photo were not so good. The painting surface generally looks a lot smoother in person. Especially, when lighted properly.
Acrylics on thick primed paper. 50x70cm.

The hardest part about photographing paintings is photographing paintings. I've learned this, too. I wonder if there's a tutorial out there to help people like us share our art as close to its original impact as possible? Either way, the textures and color played out well enough in digital form that I could appreciate it and the hard work that went into it. Very good work~♪
