Puppy Love

Puppy Love
acrylic, 5" by 7"

A quick little study exploring a limited palette of transparent acrylics. There are only three colors in this little painting ( transparent burned sienna, ultramarine blue, and quinacridone red), plus white. I like being able to use acrylics much like watercolors, and yet still be able to paint light over dark in spots.

I'm reasonably happy with this one, which is nice, because yesterday was one of those days where you paint for hours and end up with nothing worth while to show for it. Oh well, sometimes we learn more from our failures than our successes.

At least I hope so.
