“Serenity”

The latest 10 x 30 canvas piece personally requested by a buyer.

She wanted a Buddha statue + flowers + waterfall.. and voila!

Acrylic, acrylic and more acrylic for this piece! I do prefer acrylic paint over all the other kinds; I find it to be the quickest to work with, especially on larger canvases. It dries fairly quickly, which means waiting period for each layer to dry is cut short.

On the downside: Fast can be a little too fast – because they dry within few minutes, it can also mean trouble if you aren’t quick with the brushes. Especially on those palettes! Tip: Using a moisture-retaining palette helps, you can find one at an art store or make one at home. 🙂 (I’ll create a blog on this soon)

A bonus: you can easily thin acrylic paint for more balance and colours, as it is water based.

One thought on ““Serenity”

  1. I can’t thank you enough for this beautiful piece Vidya! It was much better than I had envisioned, and it has proven to be very therapeutic during times of stress and anxiety…this is exactly what I needed for my room!
