My 3"x 3" basic acrylic technique experiments are shown below, all complete on 90 lb. mixed-media paper.
After completing the experiments, I decided I wanted to explore my new pack of mixing mediums further. I have not used mixing mediums much in the past and I was intrigued by the potential paint application possibilities.
I was particularly inspired by Sheeler's architectural paintings, his geometric simplicity and bold color schemes.
If I were to teach this lesson, I would allow students to use any building exterior, not necessarily their own homes. I also prefer the look of the smooth gel mediums and feel the composition would be more unified and harmonious if I had not added texturizing mediums.
After looking at my painting for a couple days, I decided to test out my theory.
