Mixing media



Faces
Mixed media on paper
2006

In February, while visiting with family in South Africa, I created this image on A0 size paper.
Its a mixture of charcoal and acrylic and I used a palette knife to apply paint. Its not often that I start an artwork without an idea of what I want the end result to be. This was a great exercise...

It has also piqued an interest in acrylics. It seems almost a 'playful' medium as opposed to Oils.
Also, the colours are vibrant.
