I found this large (16 by 20 inches) canvas board and was tempted to give a larger acrylic painting a try. I started with a green ground color and was a little intimidated at first. Roughed in some horses and then it felt a little more familiar. After I had the horse shapes in, I was able to darken the background a bit and now it is starting to take some likeness to my reference photo! Will update you as it progresses!
Looking very good!

Pat, I have never tried a watercolor this large, that may be next!
ReplyDeleteTechnique and colors are beautiful! How do you like acrylics?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy them, but have so much to learn about them! Colors, brushes, canvas.....but I do Love how easy it is to change a color or fix a mistake! Mostly inspired by all the acrylic paintings I see on these blogs, but I miss my watercolors after a painting or two in acrylic.
