Most of these acrylics were painted on canvas covered board. To mimic the painterly brush texture of oils, we build opaque layers. Richness of colour is only evident after the third or fourth application. Thereafter the colours begin to come alive with depth and gloss. Shaping and moulding becomes easier too. Painting the initial layers in broad strokes directly under a projection of your sketch will help accelerate the process. Patience in the beginning is rewarded at the end.
