How to paint a poppy with acrylic and mixed media
- 12 years ago
See more free demos at http://paintingdemos.com
I made a movie showing the process for one of my latest painting, I took my video camera to the studio, recorded most of the process (except a few slides at the beginning and at the end) and then increased the movie frame rate about 8 times.
It was interesting for me to see the process as I seem to be improvising less than what I was thinking I would be. Perhaps it is the effect of the acceleration but it looks like I have a plan
For this painting I added a lot of layers then at one point you see me scrubbing the background to remove some of the paint because I wanted an aged look and also recover some of my original layers.
Towards the end of the movie I add layers of dry pastels also, I like mixing acrylics and pastels, these medium work well together, they are both mat and pastel adheres well to the acrylic surface.
