Yes, that's right I wanted to try the same image in a different medium.
I have not painted with oils for over 20 years. I developed allergies to oil paint while in college.
So, I Switched. I worked in pastels for a few years and then moved to acrylics. A fellow artist suggested I try the water-based acrylics. I tried them about a month ago and really enjoyed the experience. I thought I should try and see how to work the same image with different paint. It is curious that I kept my colors much more subtle and traditional in the oil than in the acrylic. I'm not sure why, It just seemed to work with this image. The thing about art is that it's always an adventure and a story with an ending we may never fully understand, and isn't that grand!
