Yippeee! After adding layer after layer of paint to my canvases, ONE of them is finally starting to look like a painting that might actually be finished sometime soon…
OK, it’s got a layer or two to go I reckon, but still, it’s starting to look like something.
The other canvas is still figuring out what it wants to be when it grows up….

Fantastic! You go, girl! (I like them both but there’s something about the second one that I REALLY like — that leafy shape bursting into the black space in the top left corner… and the larger blue spaces… it’s an interesting composition and I like your colour/pattern choices — yep, I like that second one a lot).

Hey thanks Anna, the bits you like are exactly the same bits I like (we have such good taste)! I really appreciate your support and comments x

I’m enjoying watching your progression. I would have thought using acrylics that a painting could be completed in a day. How many layers does it usually take or does that depend on the artist?

Hi Marge, you’re totally right – acrylics dry very quickly so it’s perfectly possible to create a painting in a day. This course is all about experimenting with various layers; building up the painting gradually and intuitively letting something emerge. I’m no expert but the number of layers needed varies according to the artist and the painting – Flora says some paintings come together in 3 layers and others take up to 20! Yikes :-)

I really like them both too. They already look fabulous. I love all the vibrant colours on both. As I said before just the kind of compositions I would happily hang on my wall. Well done you should feel proud of yourself xx
