Youthful Magic-Child Figurative

 Close ups

Acrylic on 7x5 hardboard.

 This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Sharron was the gracious hostess.

I loved the youthful magic of Julia in the warming sun.
This is plain acrylics on a 7x5 hardboard.
I first prepared the surface with greyed gesso applied with a painting knife in order to get a knife painting texture. Then, I used the acrylics thinly in many layers. I accented selected contours with Pitt Pens.
This approach is all new to me, so that fact just added to the fun! I'm pleased with the outcome.

C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and commenting!

This is a little girl from Dewi's WDE a while back..
It was done on Cotman Water Colour Pad...
I used Tombow Pen, Pigma Brush Pen, General's Sketch And Wash Graphite Pencil plus HB graphite pencil.
I enjoyed trying out the qualities and potential of these tools.

Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.

 This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Christine was the gracious hostess.

I liked the attitude of the little one feeling safety behind Mama!
I first toned the panel with red acrylic. Then I pushed the color and applied the paint thickly in select places. This is all brush..no painting knife.

I've painted this scarlet macaw a number of times...just can't resist! Here, he looks very confident and in love with himself...Lol!

This is oil on a 7x5 canvas panel. I first toned the panel with a red for a mid value starting point. That allows me to paint up or down in value and have something to judge it against. Works pretty well.

Golden Open Acrylics on a 5x7 canvas panel.

 This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. June was the gracious hostess.

 I'm not at all used to these open acrylics...they fall between regular fast drying acrylics (which I'm used to) and oils (which I really like) in how they handle for me. Once I got familiar with them, they would be a joy to use.
