Acrylic Sketch


This painting in my sketchbook is about 3" tall. I used Chroma's Jo Sonja Acrylics which are perfect for sketchbook painting. They are low viscosity so they dry flat and the matte surface won't stick to the other page when the book is closed.

2 Portrait Studies

I painted these 2 in the studio this morning as a warm-up. I used vine charcoal & black and white craft-grade acrylic paint mixed with retarder to aid wet-in-wet application. The surface is corrugated cardboard.
