Media Comparison

Posted by: givinitypress on: February 13, 2011

Hi Every one,

Here is an interesting comparison between watercolor and Acrylic.  I used a grid in the watercolor and and watercolor pencils on “Dakota Pride”  on the left.  ON the acrylic I used  light molding paste put on with a pallet knife and then painted on top of that with acrylic in the piece called Steadfast.  In order to learn acrylic  better,I have found it helpful to paint familiar subjects.  This is a prime example of this.  I did notice that I paint beads up on the ridges when you cross them when I texture the ground. Has anyone else dealt with this or have suggestions?
