I HAVE BEEN PRACTICING DRAWING AND PAINTING ROCKS. DUE TO BEING RAISED AND SPENDING 46 YEARS IN A ROCKLESS ENVIRONMENT, I DO NOT HAVE A MEMORY BANK OF ROCK IMAGES THE WAY I HAVE FOR OAK AND CYPRESS TREES.. OR CAJUN CABINS. DUE TO A TRIP I WILL TAKE SOON TO NOVA SCOTIA, I WANT TO BEABLE TO PAINT BELIEVABLE ROCKS IN BOTH WATERCOLOR, PASTEL, AND ACRYLIC. THESE ARE MY PRACTICES.... THE ACRYLIC IS THE PROBLEM. IT DRIES TOO FAST TO GET SOFT BLENDS. I REALIZE I NEED A STRONG DESIGN..
ALSO, THE SURFACE I AM PAINTING ON .. IS DIFFICULT. I CHOOSE THIS SURFACE BECASUE IT IS SO LIGHT AND WILL NOT MAKE MY SUITCASE SO HEAVY. I CAN SEE THAT I WILL THROW IN A CANVAS OR TWO.THIS IS NOT COMPLETED.
I AM ANXIOUS TO HAVE THE TIME TO PAINT ROCKS. I DID THEM IN COLORADO AND NORTHCAROLINA. THE ADDITION OF THE OCEAN AND WAVES IS EXCITING AND SCARY.
