Acrylic 2022
(Acrylic paint, acrylic ink, watercolour crayons in an A3 hot pressed mix media sketchbook prepped with white gesso)
Towards the end of 2022 I felt the urge to revisit acrylic paint for the first time in years. I'd also had landscapes on my mind for years, dipping in and out of the subject but never finding a process that hooked me. This sketchbook exploded over a couple of months with the aid of glue scrapers, palette knives, watercolour crayons and the lovely autumn foliage I saw out on walks. I see these pages as mostly snippets and ideas that I hope to weave in to full landscape paintings in the future.
