Acrylic Rose
I am posting an acrylic rose that I have been painting. X-posted from the Acrylic thread. I am posting the WIP over there in the following thread:
http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=541067
This is the first real attemp at acrylics. It's not done yet, so I will post the final when finished. C&C welcome. Thanks for looking

Re: Acrylic Rose
This is absolutely stunning. Not only is it beautifully painted, but I love the way you have cropped the image. Great choice of background color as well.

Re: Acrylic Rose
The more I see this Scott, the more I like it!
I'm even beginning to like the slant to the right - which I commented on in acrylics!!! 
Sometimes we just have to look a few times!
Glad you x-posted it  |

Re: Acrylic Rose
Thank you all for the lovely comments. I have been fighting a cold the last few days, so I haven't really felt like painting too much. But I am back at it a bit tonight

Re: Acrylic Rose
You really have the most beautiful blending in this Scott - would you like to share your method? (and I know you say you're new to the medium!! ) |

Re: Acrylic Rose
Hi Maureen, thank you for the compliment. I am not sure how to really explain my method, or if I even really have one  I guess I have been approaching acrylics similarly to my colored pencil work. I use layers and try to keep the colors close in value so that they transition slowly from light to dark. I unfortunately don't tend to work in a lose style, in any of my works (whether acrylic or pencil, or something else) so I like to make things appear to have a natural transition due to how tight I tend to paint and draw
