Finished off the Texas paintings with a coat of oil. I
decided to not refer to the photos I’d taken and just use my new colour wheel
to find the appropriate pigments for the final coat. It was unchartered
territory for me, and very rewarding. I feel like my painting is finally
approaching where I’ve been trying to push it over many years. Thanks to
acrylics, of all things. Who’d a thunk it?
The first two were a bit flat, no doubt because I washed a
lot of the acrylic ground off. I even put a second coat of oil on this first
painting to try and lift it. Because it was so slick, the oil beaded on the
surface and resulted in a random texturing.
