Experiment: Acrylic on Ampersand Pastelbord

Painting by Vicky Christensen, Acrylic on Ampersand Pastelbord, 12 X 16 inches
I wasn't planning on painting today. But I had some paint left over from yesterday and on the spur of the moment I decided to do something fast and loose. I also wanted to try acrylic on Ampersand Pastelbord. I have used Pastelbord a number of times for pastel paintings but I have never used it for acrylics until tonight.

The inspiration for the painting was a photo I found in the Wet Canvas reference image library: http://www.wetcanvas.com/RefLib/showphoto.php?photo=67973. I had planned on painting it with pastels but it was fun to do it with acrylic paints.
