Wanting to switch gears this afternoon, I grabbed my acrylics and jumped into a loose and impressionistic portrait in black and white. This type of work normally rolls right off the brush, but not today. I started by painting the masses with a dry brush technique, laying in the darks first. Once the lights were in and the panel was covered, I started pushing and pulling the edges until the image emerged. This was a bit of a struggle! I've not painted in this way for a while, so it took a while to get comfortable with the paint! I think I better do a few more of these just to get back up to speed. Painting number 1509 in 1509 days :)
Wow even though you say you had a bit of difficulty your art always looks like it was created with ease. I truly love this piece.
