Acrylic 3 Scumbling Golden Forest II

Scumbling is a new technique for me.  You just rub the paint into the canvas with an old brush.  You get a soft look.  I had just brought home my watercolor painting,  Golden Forest, so I tried the scumbling technique painting a smaller version on a canvas board.

Acrylic 2 Texture

I really exaggerated the texture.  I used modeling paste that had dried out somewhat.

Acrylic #1 Knife

I just started taking a course at Florida Gulf Coast University in Acrylic Techniques.  The first homework was in knife and texture.  This is a knife painting of Heavenly Biscuit.

Acrylic on stretched canvas  10 X 8

White Egret

This was painted with acrylic on watercolor paper that was glued on foam board.  It wasn't too successful.  The foam board buckled so the painting is concave.  I put 2 inch wide masking tape twice around the edge to make a 4 inch boarder.  Then after drawing the bird I covered it with masking tape and cut around it.  So than I could splash and have fun with the grass in the background.
