Mixed Drinks

Painting by Vicky Christensen, acrylic on 12 x 16 inch Canson Montval acrylic paper 

Today's painting is another done on Canson Montval acrylic paper. This time I applied the first layer of fluid acrylics plus glazing fluid with a Catalyst wedge tool. Subsequent layers were done with a brayer followed by the finishing layer of fluid acrylics.

Still having fun with the Canson paper. This is another one that started with layers of paint rolled on with a brayer, but this time I scribbled with Stabilo Woody pencils before applying the paint. After a few more layers of paint I used the brayer marks as a guide for outlining shapes with Staedtler watercolor crayons. The final touches were done with transparent and translucent glazes.

Fractured flowers?

I've been playing with Canson Montval acrylic paper. The top painting was done with fluid acrylics, with extra embellishments from Posca pigment markers. The bottom painting started with a base of brayered-on fluid acrylics, then layers enhanced with Staedtler watercolor crayons and matte medium, plus final layers of translucent and transparent glazes.
