Restaurant Paintings – Lignum Vitae
Cats: Buy Sell, Canadian art, Visual Arts|
The last of, but by no means least of the restaurant series of paintings is now completed. The Lignum Vitae, I must admit, was not as much fun for me to paint as the other 5 paintings in the series. I really struggled to achieve accuracy in hues for this one. Blending varying values of violet, blues and purple was a bit tricky for me working in acrylic which, dries rather quickly.
Choosing to do these paintings in acrylic was definitely a challenge, however, it only confirmed what I already knew in my heart. . .I really do prefer to work with oils. It’s a much more forgiving medium to work with. I did learn a lot working with acrylics though.
