Progress is continuing on my large blended colors abstract and my push to be more creative with my painting. The progress in the painting may not be quite as obvious in the video as it is in person. I am working hard to establish different subtle tones and values. This requires a lot of blending because I am also trying to not make sharp lines of color distinction. This is tricky and requires a lot of thought and brush strokes. The use of acrylic paints and their fast drying nature, requires that previously painted areas, be first applied with water and/or very wet applications of the desired color of paint. This process would probably be easier with oil paints or a medium that slows down the drying time of the acrylic paints. Although this process of blending all the colors without obvious sharp lines is challenging, the results will be very nice when the painting is finished and I am learning a lot.
