Sometimes I just have to switch gears and let the crazy out!! I LOVE rich, vibrant colors - and these Christmas ornaments offer me the perfect opportunity to revel in the bold! I am using my acrylics for this for a couple of reasons. First, I am painting presents and want them to dry quickly. Second, pushing more impressionistic, I like the quick, thick layering I can achieve with heavy body acrylics. My favorite brand? Liquitex, although I do use an almost equal portion of Golden. For something like this, I dive into my vast supply of unusual tubes. It gives me a chance to really play with the fun colors. After all these years, I still fall back to my roots of the limited palette and mixing everything I need. Tonight - I am pushing myself to just play with paint! SO fun!! Painting number 1789 in 1789 days.
