My last post talked about me learning a tiny little bit about acrylics. The only way to learn more is to do more. I really like boats - don't own one, but I really like them. I decided to do more boats. If you remember I went to a class by Maggie Ruley a few weeks ago and discovered that I loved acrylics.
First, I sketched on what I wanted. This helps me get the proportions right.
Second - I added a wash of color for the canvases. Need to cover every square inch with paint so you have a base to pain on.
Then I put on several layers of paint, shaded them and when satisfied, put a couple coats of shiny varnish on them. I love them.
Maybe I will said away in one of them. That would be fun.
