Art & Ale Acrylic May 2018

First we made a background.  I wet the canvas panel, added color, and used a sponge to make texture.  After that was dry I added some thinned yellow.  After it was dry I added thinned white and used a sponge to make texture.  I then transferred the drawing and started adding dark in the shadows (lightly) and white in the yellow areas.  I will complete this and add color next class.

After my initial issue with the canvas panel beading up, I added a layer of Liquitex Clear Gesso to take care of the issue.  I then started painting with a warm dark and a blueish gray.  I have barely started.  I will glaze color after the details are added.  Step one is to get the values on.
