I love Golden paints as well as Amsterdam, but in my journal I tend to use the cheap brands, so I can play as much as I want without having to think about the cost. I always tend to buy the bright colours though.<br />I have learned a few things using acrylics. Firstly I keep the cold (blue, green, purple) colours separate from the warm (red, yellow, orange) as long as they are wet. When they're dry it doesn't matter, but when they're wet and mixed together they tend to make mud. Second thing I learned it that when you put white paint or gesso first and when that's dry put a transparant red or pink on top, the colours are really vibrant. The nice thing about cheap paints is that they're often transparant because the pigment is not so strong. But in combination with the white paint they look great. In this page I didn't use much white, the red and blue are just very vibrant. But using white in the background first is a way of making colours appear less dull/dead. It comes down to a lot of experimenting I guess :-)denthehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14253123767521383516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6365553933084212689.post-53251083602886176112014-12-06T21:57:43.936+01:002014-12-06T21:57:43.936+01:00Good for you for leaving the mouth be!

And I have right beside me this quotation: "There is no exquisite beauty without some strangeness of proportion." I think keeping it "raw" is good for you, and me, and all of us!<br /><br />There are a gajillion great figures in this. I adore the red woman with the blue blindfold (or maybe that's just makeup?) and the bird on the quasi-human legs.

I was once accused by an art tutor that I made everything beautiful! I think that is why my girls have odd perspective. But both are okay and even better when they are both on the same page, which you have managed to do so well.

Now, of course, that I'm back to blogging, I'll be sharing some of my fun, but it was nice to take a break for awhile! It can be hard to art journal without wanting the end result being something "pretty" to show.
