4 CommentsI think this painting is beginning to tell me a story, now. I'm really finding it difficult to work with acrylic paint and I get frustrated working on it because I don't have time to manipulate the paint on the canvas the way I'm used to with oils. I forget to step back and look at the painting, so I miss the good stuff that's going on in it until I get aggravated enough to start cleaning up. THEN I step back and take a looooooooong look at it and try to see the good points instead of just focussing on what's been frustrating me.
I was pleasantly suprised with this. I usually am. I can focus on the details way too much and really miss the big picture.
So, I changed the perspective a little bit - well, quite a bit, actually, by adding some blue sky and a mountain off in the distance. What do you think?
Very nice!
There are mediums to slow down the drying time. But I think you're doing fine.
