Acrylic on archival canvas panel 12x9
This is a new approach to acrylic painting for me - working from a "vibrant" undercoat. This panel was first painted with a mixture of Ultra-violet and Permanent Rose. The idea was for this blaze of mauve to bleed through into the dull greens and golds of the salt marsh and live oaks.
Again, I need to keep in mind, acrylics dry darker than they go on. Most are transparent unless white is added to the mix.
Put the brush down when you've finished the stroke you intended to make. Don't keep "strokin'" - that way leads to the dark side (mud).
