While a lot of my time is consumed with my oil commission, I find time in between drying and worrying about drying times and varnishes to paint other things. This is a painting on acrylic paper for my friend Ian’s bistro Bite Me
I’m trying to make it vaguely look as though it were an acrylic version of an aux trois crayons drawing, so I’m using a restricted palette of burnt sienna, ultramarine, alizarin crimson and white.
To create some interesting texture, I first sketched the outlined of the cup in thick white paint, which resists a later wash of Burnt Sienna, and has a little texture to drybrush over if I want.
