My girl this week was painted in acrylic. I felt the need for strong colour, and that
is something acrylics do very well. I
still not comfortable with them, but I am getting there, I miss the buttery
feel of oils. I used oils 2 days last
week and my Psoriasis flared up big time.
So no oil painting till it settles down again. (I know gloves! But in this hot weather I ask you!) Ah, I suppose we can’t have everything in
life. A friend suggested that if I do a
lot of the under painting in acrylic, and then the top layers in oil might be a
compromise. I was going to do that with this
painting but had so far and decided she was finished.
Looking at her I think she is ready for the party and
her date’s not turned up or she is disappointed with it? Anyway I think she looks a bit sad. I know, she has just realized that she can’t
have everything she desires.
Have a happy PPF everyone and a very creative week, I
know I will.
Linking with Paint Party Friday
This is beautiful.. I love your use on the colors and the portrait reminds me a little bit on Picassos women, which I love too!

The allergy reaction to oils is a shocker and there is no way you could paint in gloves at this time of year... maybe you will get to like acrylics more as you use them... it took quite a while for me to make the transition... this looks as though you had a great time with it...xx
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, the colors are vibrant and well done. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteHave you tried the water soluble oils, if you get the chance to give them a go am sure it would solve your problems.
ReplyDeleteLoving your amazing girl, all dolled up and nowhere to go..aaaaah
Happy PPF and enjoy the weekend, Annette x
Love your girl and your bold use of contrast and color. Happy PPF!
ReplyDeleteWonderful strong colours! I love how you did her hair!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, love the bold choice of colors!
ReplyDeleteShe is fun, great colors. I've been using the water soluble oils which means no solvents - so that could be the ticket for you. Worth a try if you do love oil paints. Happy PPF
ReplyDeletelove the color placement and the vibrancy of this portrait-fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI think this turned out great! I struggle with acrylics, too, but I need the simplicity of water-based media, at least until I have a proper studio.
ReplyDeleteLove the cool-color palette with that pop of yellow, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteFun!
♥♥♥
Happy PPF!!

She could be sad or she could be really miffed, wondering if she has been stood up. Whatever it is, she's beautiful in those vivid colors.
ReplyDeleteShe definitely is ready to party!!!

ReplyDeleteShe is SO cool! I love her bold colors and yes, that pop of yellow is great - I agree with Mary :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteShe does seem blue about something... ; -) I struggle with acrylics as well, but it looks like you are conquering them!
