Acrylic Paints

Acrylic Paints

I am using acrylic paints for the baseball parks that I am doing for the Kickstarter project.  I chose acrylic for a couple of reasons.  First, they dry quickly which makes it easier to put in the details I need in the background scenery. And second, because acrylic dries quicker than oils I can store these paintings as I work on them.  Thirty 18″ x 24″ canvas are not easy to store so being able to stack them really helps.  🙂

As you can see from the photo there is quite a few different brands.  As I tell my students in art class, every painter has to explore different brands and colors and find their own favorites.  These are some of mine.  Here are the acrylics I am using:

Winsor & Newton Artists’ Acrylic: Graphite Grey, Titanium White, Cadmium Yellow Light, Yellow Ochre, Buff Titanium, Naphthol Red Medium, Permanent Sap Green

Master’s Touch Acrylic:  Pale Blue, Warm Grey, Flesh Yellow

Atelier Interactive Artists’ Acrylic:  French Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Umber

Fundamentals Artist Acrylic:  Azo Red Deep, Red Ochre, Crimson

SoHo Urban Acrylic:  Burnt Sienna

Allen Montague Fine Non-toxic Acrylics:  St. Johns Blue

Just finished Chase Field – Home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.  It’s the first domed field that I’ve painted.  It was a very different experience than the others.   There are 5 more domed fields to paint.

Because of the hot weather in Arizona,  Chase is completely air-conditioned.  Wow!

This is the 10th painting in the series.  Just 20 more to go!  🙂
