I have been working in acrylics this past year and one of my favorite things about acrylic paint is how well it works in mixed media. This image is a detail of a piece is on my easel right now. It is acrylic on paper. I have carved into the wet acrylics with soft pastel and pastel pencil. I love the incorporation of line in painting, and the layering of media creates diverse textures. Because acrylic dries much quicker and more stable than oil, it bonds well to other dry media. I had forgotten how much fun this was- and how much I like the results. I think there will be more of this in my upcoming work!
