I was went to target practice yesterday… with a paint brush and acrylic paint!
It was an experiment in mixing and layering opaque acrylic paints. I started with a base of yellow, red and blue. I mixed variations with white, gray and black paint.
Below is a sample of each one on one page:
I’m not real excited about the colors and found the exercise a bit tedious. Yet, it was good practice with learning to use a paint brush in small spaces.
I created this donkey-pig with overlapping circles:
I learned this technique in Carla Sonheim’s 365 – Creating Art Everyday online class.
I hope you are on target for a fabulous day!
Cheers! 🙂
Looks like a fun experiment, and your donkey pig is adorable! I hope you have an art filled day!
