Probably about five years ago I did a series like this of acrylic on water-colour paper with Prismacolor pencils for details and a slightly abstract background. My go-to medium is usually oil for framed paintings and water-colour for illustration work but I think I'm ready to go back to using
acrylics on paper again. Maybe because I've been doing some collage work and that would blend so well with the type of painting above. It's nice to be able to re-visit my own work and get inspired rather than looking elsewhere for that spark. This one is under glass as you can see by the tiny areas of reflection at the top and over the handle. Perhaps this time I might work on wood panels because of the smooth surface and see if I can get that "pastel painting" effect I got from working with velvety acrylics and pencil on paper.
