I have continued painting with acrylic blocking in my painting. I'm a little undecided yet if I like using acrylic for this stage of the painting and found myself continually wanting to get out my oils. The tranparency of the acrylics are hard to get used to. But I think tomorrow I will go to the oils. I will be running the gallery myself and will probably be interupted quit a bit but I'll see how far I can get on it.Sunday, May 17, 2009

Looking great so far! I really like the composition.
I've just started tinkering around with oils again after neglecting them for many years. I'm curious... are you using an acrylic underpainting solely to save time because it dries so fast? Or are there other advantages to an acrylic underpainting?
I am using it for speed. Am a very impatient guy when it comes to painting. I can sit for hours for wildlife to show up but just hate it when I have to wait too long for paint to dry.
Re: "just hate it when I have to wait too long for paint to dry".... might you be related to my husband? :-)
Thanks for your prompt reply. I checked out the newer version of the painting and it's looking great... you're very talented.
