Acrylic Painting

Hi, I just wanted to write a little about things I have learned. I needed some new paints and went to an art store at Birmingham. Forstalls Art Center. The nice gentleman there suggested that I try Golden Heavy Body Acrylics. I bought about 6 tubes which are quite expensive. What I learned is that they are worth it. They have high pigment and they dry slower allowing more time to work before they dry out. I am loving them. They are like thick butter consistency. So far so good. Of course I still use a fine atomizer to keep them moist.

The Carol


Painting this boat reminded me of an
old shrimp boat my dad used to own.
We, my dad, brother, sisters and I set
out for a nice day of shrimping. A tremendous
storm came up and almost capsized our
53 ft shrimper. I have never been so scared
in my life. Acrylic on 10x20 panel board.
