Eye Opener

Close up

Acrylic on 7x5 hardboard.



This is my contribution to this week's DPW's Paint Your Mug Challenge . The challenge was issued by the very accomplished artist, Karla Uphoff .

Karla said: Paint the favorite cup or mug you reach for when you want something hot to drink. I think what we drink out of tells a lot about our personalities.



Black coffee in my black cup is my eye opener. My constant studio companion.



This is acrylics applied in many thin layers, like a watercolor. I did a lot of negative painting around the brushes. It didn't come off as I envisioned it, but hey, I'm still investigating this technique.
