So sorry I haven’t had the opportunity to do another piece for this week – I did this one a couple of weeks ago (sneakily knowing I’d use this ref!)
Acrylics on acrylic paper about 10×6″, 2 hours and done with a palette knife and bits of credit card.Thanks for looking!:)
Cheers, Maureen

May 2, 2019 at 7:56 pm #822955You’ve done a beautiful job here, Maureen. I agree with Sklyar – love the palette. And there’s something more, which I can’t quite put my finger on, that gives it a sense of mystery. Oh, wait, maybe it’s that light at the top of the stairs, which makes you wonder what’s beyond. Also, foliage, trees, and steps are all really, really nicely done.
I’d better find some old credit cards to cut up, because I would LOVE to paint in this style!
Would you mind listing the acrylic colors and paint brand you used here? (I need to put in a Mother’s Day request list for my daughter, and this palette etc. would be perfect. My acrylics are getting old and either dried up or just not so good.) Thanks!

Connie T – I use a mixture of brands but mostly Winsor & Newton and Liquitex – artist grade …… but also old System3 which I still like!
I painted the base red – which accounts for those little snippets of red showing through ……. other than, 3 primaries and titanium white!:)
Cad red, Naples yellow (medium I think) and Ult blue.
If you want a really dark colour get some Indigo – it’s great for getting a near black when mixing .. I seldom use black unless needed as a colour on its own.:)Cheers, Maureen

Love this! Also love using indigo as it makes for a strong dark.
