Day 2 of "Recycle" - January 30 in 30
I paint mainly with watercolor but I was so intrigued by acrylic that I took an acrylic painting workshop with Pat Weaver. It was frustrating at times for me but I had a lot of fun experimenting with the medium.
So off I go with my minimal knowledge of acrylic and decided to do part of the challenge using this medium. I'm not so sure if what I'm doing is right but what I know is that I'm having lots of fun recycling cardboard boxes and spending time dabbing paint and prepping my "canvas"!
For materials, I have my bunch of cardboard (of course) which I cut 8"x8", synthetic brushes, palette knives, box cutter and acrylic paints- heavy body from Blick and Apple Barrel acrylic paints I bought from Walmart which I use to prep the canvas and prevent it from warping. Well they still warp.
My "Recycle" materials
For Day 2, I tried painting with my palette knives. I did this once at Pat Weaver's workshop and I thought I'll do palette knife painting again. So much fun but find it hard to control. Well practice makes perfect.
Here's my Day 2 painting
