Dash's (still unfinished) 3rd Acrylic Painting

For the 3rd piece of acrylic painting, the teacher decided that we are all ready to dive into the under-painting technique. This is where we do a monochromatic painting of the set-up, and then do a second layer of painting. The second layer of painting uses a colour palette that is created from us mixing in white with the key colour to create an array of differential colour values.

And for this piece, the teacher gave us the following set-up:

And the picture below is a canvas with Dash's first layer of monochromatic underpainting, using the positive technique (i.e. direct painting).

And Dash is quite proud of being able to complete this in 3 hrs! Woohoo! :D Compared to the 7 hrs Dash took for the first painting of the wooden structure set-up : ) Mmm! Improvement! *YAY!*




























This last picture shows Dash's work only 1/3 of the way completed for the second layer of values painting. Only the small round flat pottery and the bottom of the vase was completed. :D

Dash *really* likes painting : ) Wooah! But what is needed is really a relaxed weekend after a good cuppa, with hoppity music in the background ^_^
