From the past - Acrylic painting on canvas

Recently found prints of some of my old portrait works which I did for my 2006 Leela Gallerie Exhibition. These works are sold. I used Camel acrylic paint tubes for creating these beautiful faces on 6" x 6" canvas. 

Later I went on to do still life paintings from live objects to get a better understanding of colours and values. Presently I am engaged in my landscape works and am developing my own technique and style, hence even though I get very tempted to other subjects, I restrain myself from doing so as I need to do a lot more landscapes or rather nature works which will be my concept in my upcoming exhibition in May this year.

While painting the above portraits I used the acrylic paints in diluted form ie quite in water colour way. A lot of glazing technique was used.

Back to my 6" X 6" canvas paintings. 

However, unlike my initial works which were based on still life subjects, this time I have decided to get into doing landscapes. I am using both acrylic as well oils in creating these small works from reference photographs.

6" X 6" Acrylic paintings on canvas

The two acrylic paintings as posted below are put up on a vertical narrow wall in my home. Did them about two years back. Just wanted to do something very colourful and bright. Used Camel Artists quality acrylic tubes for the same. The 6" X 6" canvas is not readily available in the market, hence I got into the practice of creating them on my own to suit my needs.

The debate between ACRYLIC and OIL paintings is always on but both have their advantages and 

disadvantages. Finally it is upon the artist as to which medium he/she prefers and what gives more 

happiness. I personally love acrylic medium for the simple reason that it dries up quickly and the gratification

is instant. Moreover with my past experience in dealing with them has made me realise that there is no question of its ever catching fungus and it is so very durable.

Have not touched my acrylics for long BUT I do plan to try out the acrylics in water colour way on canvas.

It is always fun to experiment something new in art and creativity.
