Back in the Studio... With Acrylic Inks!

4/4/2016

Getting back into the studio over the past couple of months has been so rewarding. I’ve been playing with acrylic inks (mixed with my standard pouring medium) and feeling more and more as if I am getting to “that place”. That place where what I visualize in my head actually translates into my works. Here are a few recent examples…

Pastel Smoke was the first.

Up next was Candy Skies.

I had been playing around with other mixes and got to where I felt pretty comfortable with what I could do with the inks. Candy Skies was my first true experience with straight acrylic ink and pouring medium.
Trust me, those pigments go a longgggg way.

The next, where I experimented with mixing some more opaque colors against clear pouring medium, was Sienna Skies (clearly named after the beautiful Burnt Sienna acrylic ink that I’d just received that day!).

These are all painted on a hollow core 1 ½” thick wood panel.
For the local peeps, these pieces are currently on display at Betterwood Designs, on the corner of Washington and Kennewick Ave., in downtown Kennewick.
I can’t wait to finish another one.
