Let's take one of my Poppy Paintings. Please make honest comments I can handle real critiques. If you have been following me, you know I never do a painting like this and I never owned black or used it in a painting until this one. Because black is not in nature, created by man, so dark's in nature are created by blues, browns, purples or red. Black is the essence of all colors where white is the absence of color. We are lucky in this age to have such convenient paint. The one acrylic paint I use right now is like butter, called M. Grahm. Highly recommend them. I created the poppy painting because when you enter my kitchen you see at the end of the room a sun room. On that wall stands this poppy painting and I love the reactions. Now on the left is the finished painting and on the right is what I did in the first 1-1.5 hours, painting all the black surrounding the flowers. I never do this either! I always work the whole painting, layer, by layer. With in 2 more days the paintings was done. I did not over paint it, I just wanted a reaction from a distance and I do get that.
