These are acrylic paintings I have done over the years.
Here are some steps and techniques I prefer to use for acrylic paintings now. Pleaase note, I have not always done this, and sometimes do not do it now. For example, in the past, I used strecthed Belgian linen for my canvases, then I moved to masonite, and then masonite over plywood.
Many of my works are from photos or my versions of other artists work.
