This is the only painting I have done in acrylic. (Also the first real closeup and portrait as well.) It began Saturday as an acrylic underpainting for a oil portrait of my son and wife's dog Wrigley. However-as it was to be a gift and I liked the way the underpainting was going-especially since I had used a raw sienna acrylic as the underpainting, I decided to finish it up with the acrylic-laying in the colors. (I had to-this stuff dries really really fast leaving me little time to blend). An additional advantage was they would be able to take it with them when they returned to St Louis on Sunday. In fact it was not only done, but also framed. Can't do that with oils.
