Never Thought I Would Go Back to Acrylics



I never thought I would go back to acrylics since I did not like them in the past. The outcome is the image to the right. (acrylic on matboard, 7.75 x 6 inches)

I was asked to teach a class using the medium so I dug them out of my "maybe I will use them someday" art supplies.

I made my own stay wet type palette using a plastic paper plate with a wet piece of felt placed on it and topped with a piece of baking parchment, both cut to the size of the plate. To my surprise the acrylics stayed like they were just squeezed out of the tube for several days. The best is that I actually enjoyed using them.
