Three apples (acrylic painting)


Acrylics on canvas board (12x18 cm).

This was an experiment, as I haven't used acrylics for a long time.
I tried to use the usual oil painting techniques for alla prima, namely wet on wet, but it didn't turn out as I expected. I forgot how quickly acrylics dry on canvas and on the palette, even though I added a bit of retarder medium. I used some WN Galeria paints I had (still a student on this :) ).

However, I like the result somehow.

Thanks for reading!
