Seated Nude 2010.
I haven’t used acrylic paints in years. And when I did use them they were for my more sort of cartoon work that I used to dedicate most of my time to.. Of late though, I haven’t been able to use oil paints. I got a bit frustrated as I am pretty grounded here for the time being and the only reason why I wasn’t painting for the good part of last year was the constant travel and moving about. (Packing up paper is easier than canvas and the tools that go with it.)
So, I decided to bite the bullet and get over my snobbery about oil paint being the only way to go and bought myself some decent acrylic paints. The above image was just a play, but I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much that I am already working on a second painting (that is really large) and take back any horrible things I have said about acrylics in the past. I don’t know what I was thinking!
