Wolf painting
This is my very first post on Wet Canvas. I just stumbled onto the forums doing a Google search for something that I can't even remember now, lol. I thought I'd share one of the first acrylic paintings I had ever done. This one was actually a commissioned piece, and I did it after I had dabbled for a couple of months in the acrylics. I have historically, for the past 30 years, painted mostly in oils, so it was exciting for me to do something new. Let me know what you think.

Re: Wolf painting
This Wolf painting is really awesome and nice. To watching this Wolf painting is really a good thing for me because I have never seen a painting like this one. For me its a best chance to see this one.

Re: Wolf painting
Lovely painting Karen.Great fur detail and beautiful eyes! And welcome I'm pretty new here too.

How do you find the blending of acrylics? It must feel totally different to oils as acrylic dries quickly doesn't it?

I draw more than I paint.

Cheers
Geri

Re: Wolf painting
Geri, thanks for the comments!

I find that rather than blending the acrylics, I layer them. Yes, they are TOTALLY different in handling than the oils, for sure. But I am totally in love with them. It's like learning how to paint all over again, and I love a challenge.
