It’s been a while since my last painting session.
A lot longer since my last painting session using acrylic paint.
So I decided to pick up my palette knife again.
I didn’t really have a plan for what I was going to paint, I just wanted to use the medium again.
So I spent a some minutes figuring out what to make, and came up with kind of an abstract flower bouquet.
First I used some different gradients of blue for the background, using a palette knife to kind of scrape the paint onto the canvas.
I wanted to make the impression on light coming in from the right side, so I used lighter and lighter tones when working my way across the canvas.
That being done I kept using the palette knife to add a vase with some flowers on top.
This is how it looked:

I think the painting turned out well.
One thing could be better, though.
The red and yellow colours of the flowers are a bit flat. Simply because I struggle to blend acrylic paint in a satisfying way.
It just won’t come together properly.
Anyway, it was really nice getting back to the medium, and there will definitely be some more sessions in the following days.
It did go well 😁
Thank you, Steve ☺ I do like the palette knife ☺
I was wondering where you were. Loving this acrylic painting, lovely vibrant colours. Looking forward to seeing more 😊
Thank you, Elaine ☺ There’s a few more coming up ☺☺
