A person can get lost there with all the 'eye candy'. I'll be adding your website to my 'links'. <BR/><BR/>I'll be using the transparent acrylics again - as soon as I recover from the recent local art show.<BR/><BR/>And thank you for visiting my site on such a regular basis! I hope to be posting more frequently very soon.bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933344957466744104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35063734.post-83444188438895788562007-06-08T12:24:00.000-05:002007-06-08T12:24:00.000-05:00i check your blog at least three times a week. i'...i check your blog at least three times a week. i'm attaching the links to some of my artwork done with transparent acrylics on different media -- the first two are on cold press paper -- one that i roughed up and one that i left the surface as it came; and the third is done on watercolor canvas. i must have put 17 or 18 layers of transparent wash on that canvas. i find that the trans. acryls both make me think *and* free me up.<BR/><BR/>http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2006/06/title_here.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2006/07/title_middle.html<BR/><BR/>http://www.thebonnieblackfaerie.com/2006/09/title_newgrange_5_1.htmlbonnie-ann blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897963557767227247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35063734.post-32471281282058428262007-06-06T16:57:00.000-05:002007-06-06T16:57:00.000-05:00Thanks, Bonnie.

Sometimes we as artists just grab a brush and start swingin', but other times it takes concentration to get the right results. <BR/><BR/>And then there're the "happy little accidents" that happen along the way. That's what this little 'dreamscape' became. <BR/><BR/>I'll be using the 'trans acryl' medium again soon. I'm thinking it would work great in painting a river or stream with its rocks and reflections. Thanks again for stopping at my blog - and for taking the time to comment. :o)bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933344957466744104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35063734.post-44877987854298186412007-06-06T16:39:00.000-05:002007-06-06T16:39:00.000-05:00i like the dreamy sort of quality here. i started...i like the dreamy sort of quality here. i started using transparent acrylics (Dr. P.h. Martin's) about a year ago and i love them! they really allow building up layers to an incredible degree, but are great for washes and retain their brilliance. i even painted over them with pastels and gouache.bonnie-ann blackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05897963557767227247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35063734.post-6521873528833145422007-06-01T13:39:00.000-05:002007-06-01T13:39:00.000-05:00Thanks, Ron!

I visit from time to time. :o) <BR/><BR/>I have H2O colours and acrylics, but I don't use them very often - although I do like them. They are certainly a nice change from oil, but they really require my complete attention. There's the whole 'resin vs pigment' thing - which takes a different mind set. And there's the color mixing maze - what works in acrylics might not get the same result in oils. <BR/><BR/>I painted with just acrylics for maybe 2 years straight, but when I started doing some plein air work I brought out the oils again.<BR/><BR/>I'm fickle when it comes to art materials. And let's not start talking about canvas vs. panel vs. paper. Maybe another time.bjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933344957466744104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35063734.post-22241389607883364122007-06-01T13:13:00.000-05:002007-06-01T13:13:00.000-05:00Nice sketch, are you coming over to the waterworld...Nice sketch, are you coming over to the waterworld?Ron Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787006578615434837noreply@blogger.com
