Art- I made an acrylic mural!
As some of you know, I recently finished an acrylic mural that I did in my office. Here's the finished product.
I've not done acrylics before, so it was quite a challenge! :D Layering colors, opacity, viscosity, being able to lay down whites instead of preserving them etc. Acrylics are quite different from watercolors, but I enjoyed myself enough I'm sure I'll be doing more murals.
All in all, it took about 35 hours, and covers a 7' x 8' wall. I told Katheryn "I've finally got canvas that feels big enough!" LOL. I started it back around Thanksgiving, and did the bulk of the work before XMas. I wrapped it up a few weeks ago, and thought I'd share my process.
