BOATYARD in Acrylic

may 18_10.jpg

Acrylic paint is vibrant, bold and tons of fun to use.  This painting uses a dark background of cadmium red light and Thalo blue to emphasize the light on the boats and the truck.  Foreground rocks and grasses are neutral so that the bright colors of the shipyard boats are dramatic.

The under painting will be done using a watercolor style.  Those who want to stay with watercolor can do so.  The acrylic painters will add texture as the painting proceeds.
 

What you will need:  For acrylics - Cadmium Red light, Naples yellow, Pthalo Blue, Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Blue and Titanium white. For Watercolor – permanent red, raw sienna, burnt sienna, ultramarine blue and Prussian blue.

One 16x20 canvas or half sheet of watercolor paper
