I am taking a break from pastels to try acrylic painting. I have been following exercises in Lee Hammond's book on painting landscapes. I have been practicing brushstrokes and have painted a few of the simple examples. Today I decided to try the first painting from Varvara Harmon's 'Painting in Acrylic' published by Walter Foster. Here is the finished painting:
This is painted on a Blick canvas sheet. The canvas has rippled a bit, which you might be able to see in the sky. I think next time I will probably try Fredrix canvas sheets, which are sturdier. In any case, I am encouraged by the results and can't wait to try the next lesson.
