Here is the second stage of my "Downtown Palm". I needed to add some highlights so I knew where I was on the value scale. I've had many people, including other artists, think that I work in acrylics, I guess because I tend to be more graphic these days. But these are oils, I just prefer the feel and end result in oils than acrylics.I also prefer to have about three paintings going at once and rotate until all three are complete. It keeps me fresh and while one painting is drying, I can work on the others. I do use mediums, either Liquin or I've been using a new medium, Rapidry. Rapidry is very much like Liquin, only less thick, which I like better. This allows me to keep working on these paintings and can get them finished quickly.
