| Harriet, 18x22, acrylic on board, Patricia Bennett |
This is my first time using acrylics on one of my prepared boards. These boards used to be for oil painting: 8 coats of acrylic mixed with pigment, each coat sanded. I enjoyed painting on the smooth surface and allowing the cool bluish board color to shine through. The acrylic got a little sticky and beaded up at first.
Process: I drew Harriet with pencil in the pose that I thought she would stay in. Then I painted her face and the area around it. Going for unity of color, I made her hair the same color as the lamby and the wall the same as her pants. I used only primary colors (red, blue, yellow), with black, white, and naples yellow.
This was a two-sitting painting because Harriet is leaving tomorrow.
This is the first sitting:
