Exercising my hands with acrylic colors (and some touches of oil colors)
Hello hivers, an happy Monday to you all!
I hope you spent a nice weekend. ^_^
About me, I spent a part of my weekend exercising my hands paiting with acrylic colors.
You know I use to paint my artworks using oil colors on papers. I use them in a different way than when I use oil on canvas ( on paper I use them with more trementine, as the same way I use the water when I work with watercolors) and I like so much the result, but sometime I feel the need to improve my skills on other tecniques and so here I am.
After some fast sketches on my sketchbook I decided to try to paint one of my characters using acrylic colors, even if I had just few little jar of acrylic colors at home. I added some details using the oil colors, just to see how they can work on acrylic colors. At the end, I thought the final result was not so bad and so I'll buy the colors I prever in the next days.
In the following pics, you can see the final result:
As you can see, the subject wear a dress similar to the one I shared with you yesterday (you can see it here. To be honest, the part of this "experiment" I prefer is the background that I think it's very interesting. I like the effects I had mixing different colors layer by layer.
I painted it on a sheet of 110 gsm paper in A4 size and, like I use to do for you, I took some pics while I was painted it:
I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia

The dress and the bird design on it really look good
Nice painting!
This is so much different to your other work, yet it feels so much the same as well! I am contradicting myself now. But your work is always amazing, brightening one's day. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks so much! ^_^
