You can achieve a similar "wipe out" technique with acrylics too, but you may need to keep a spray bottle of water near by if you are in a warm climate. Acrylics dry real fast in a thinner application such as this one. I might also suggest just using 2 colors like blue and white or red and white to achieve a value under painting on canvas. Eliminating all the color choices sometimes helps to get started - you can always add color on top later, especially with acrylics! Doing the value study first is a great way to get your lights and darks correct before moving onto color.<br />Good luck! And happy painting!Jennifer Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668323141814274096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875619683420726540.post-28827971641024871842011-02-02T14:20:59.841-08:002011-02-02T14:20:59.841-08:00This is really great to know - and inspiring - tha...This is really great to know - and inspiring - thanks for sharing! I'm in the Caribbean now, wanting to do some paintings, but since it's new to me, I've had 'painters block' - but this gives me a place to start. I have a cheapy set of acrylics, as it's nearly impossible to get materials here in 2.8 world :-) I have some sail canvas scraps from the sail loft which should be fun to experiment with, stitches and all. Yay! I'm finally excited to get started! Thank you! LOVE your work girl - oh, btw, which blog service do you use for your site design? It looks really nice!michaelle / park citynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875619683420726540.post-33282644982168872802008-08-08T11:48:00.000-07:002008-08-08T11:48:00.000-07:00Thanks for your comments you guys... There was a p...Thanks for your comments you guys... <BR/><BR/>There was a period not too long ago when I was almost not painting at all - mostly due to the fear of color. It stopped me in my tracks until I finally was able to take control of my palette! I use a limited palette now a days... and ironically can mix any color from it. Maybe that will be the subject of my next post...hmmmmm.<BR/><BR/>Nina, thanks for visiting my blog - I'm spoiled. I can buy the empty tubes from a local art store (5 minutes away from my house) and fill them at home. In fact, I will talk about it more in one of my next posts so I can provide the link for the materials... Thanks for your question and feedback!Jennifer Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668323141814274096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875619683420726540.post-14007436401678741062008-08-08T07:14:00.000-07:002008-08-08T07:14:00.000-07:00Wow, thanks for sharing!

I always love to learn how other artists work so its interesting to read these descriptions of the process. <BR/><BR/>Actually I didn´t realize you used an underpainting but now I can see that you do. Such a smart way of trying out compositions! I really have to go straight and try that. <BR/><BR/>Love the Discovery Park painting. It looks really hazy and serene, almost like an out of focus photograph with an old camera. Reminds me of the works of Sally Mann.<BR/><BR/>But about your own paint mixture.. how can you tube it yourself!?Nina Aidashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794806000743216655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7875619683420726540.post-19164226289034270442008-08-07T23:43:00.000-07:002008-08-07T23:43:00.000-07:00That's almost exactly how I almost always start my...That's almost exactly how I almost always start my paintings. Only difference is that I use a raw Sienna by Talens (Rembrandt series). <BR/>I completely agree that when you've done an underpainting like this, it hardly needs anything else. <BR/>I also so understand the 'afraid of color' statement. I have that too. I love paintings with bold colors, but I find it very hard to do myself...<BR/>Cheers,<BR/>ArcoArco Scheepenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883056774995922047noreply@blogger.com
