acrylic painting

acrylic was my first foray into any type of paint or color for that matter. prior to acrylic, my only art tools were graphite pencils and paper. Black and white and everything in between - i.e. grey. immediacy and vibrancy are two qualities I love about acrylic paint. it is accessible - anyone can make something to be proud of, and that’s a beautiful thing.

getting started

the eight portraits below were complete in 2015 and represent my first try with acrylic or any color for that matter.
it would be years before i painted again.
