Day One: 30 Paintings in 30 Days!

 30 paintings in 30 Days!   2023- Happy New Year!


I've decided to start the new Year off with a bang and challenge myself to do a new painting every day in January. My intention is to give a daily tip.  Feel free to share these posts with your friends. Happy New Year!

Day 1: 30 Paintings in 30 Days!
Tip 1: How to make an abstract beginning using acrylic and a brayer.
Pick 2 acrylic colors, making sure one is light and one is a medium value. I picked
1) Golden Hansa Yellow, medium, mixed with titanium white and
2)Craftsmart ocean breeze
Use a brayer to load up the lighter color. Swoop the brayer lightly over the paper so it hits and misses. Do the same with the medium color. Use the edge of the brayer to make lines. Complete as you wish. I like to draw a wire drawing on top and then develop the design with darker watercolor glazes. All of these paintings are available on my website ( go to: Gallery, 30 Paintings in 30 Days) at special prices.
