I have been working on four canvases today, two oil and two acrylic. I want to paint in oil because it is more sensuous to paint with as it resists the brush stroke a little. I'm also pursuing a reluctant quarry as I still don't quite know how to make it do what I want. Acrylic is so easy going and versatile, it's kind of like my favorite buddy to party with. My son came to visit me in my studio after school. "That painting needs green," he said. Sure enough, I tested it out and the solid color stripe I wanted to paint on the bottom looked the best in green. It made the muddy red pop but the viewer doesn't get hit over the head with a glaring red color.
