Underpainting with acrylic (3)

I may have done way more than I should have. The acrylics are taking over. For much of the last year, I’ve been doing heavily textured, multi-layered acrylics. Because I want to avoid impasto and thick peaks and ridges, because they may not dry enough for a stable foundation, I’ve been using acrylic with softer consistency, inviting a different kind of brush work, and quite different effect. Having found a different approach–at the end of that phase, I may not move on to oil–or maybe only one for experimental purposes.
