Literal first blush of colour. I'm working from a black and white reference, so I'm making my own choices here. And despite the impression this first layer might give, mimesis is not my goal. I learned a bit about doing glazes in acrylic with my last painting. I'm using a new(ish) acrylic medium from Windsor & Newton that isn't cloudy and doesn't distort the colour. It's amazing, but new enough that there are next to no examples out there of people using it. This is an oil-ish approach, but with the rapid drying of acrylic, so it's neither and both. #art #painting #acrylicpainting
