When I have an area that will require lots of blending and nuances, like the road, I mix a fair bit of color and work fast. When things dry, colors can be changed easily with glazes. For me, it is about lots of layers, lots of mixing paint,working fast, and leaving those bright little bits of highlights until the very end. Acrylics dry s shade lighter in color than when wet, so blending a big area of the exact same color is almost impossible. With your style of working with lots of colors, it would probably work great. And they are dry right away! Even with big blobs of paint.Catherine Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461798205529014264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072572308301706875.post-90235723242909907342010-12-07T19:41:03.005-05:002010-12-07T19:41:03.005-05:00Your colors are very lively.
