Today is the 1st day of the International Urban Sketchers week. I went to Tustin to sketch with the @usknorthoc . Warm but somewhat cloudy sky. I had planned to control acrylic better but there just wasn't enough time to use thicker paste and more correct color mixing. It is obvious that I would need a lot more paint to get the texture I want and to be able to mix freely.
Lunch at the Black Marlin with the gang. Cioppino and beer.

A stylised acrylic landscape of the chalk stream in Hughenden Park, painted earlier this week as a step-by-step guide for my classes. Acrylic on paper, 29 x 34 cm.
So I finally moved on from painting just night skies to painting evening skies. And now I constantly paint purple skies because the colour is so pretty 🥺
Quick environment painting from photo reference. I spent around 45 minutes on it. I recently started painting (with acrylics). It’s a skill I’ve been wanting to get better at for awhile. So far I’m having a lot of fun. I still have a long way to go but overall I don’t dislike how this turned out. I’d love to hear from you guys! Have any of you recently picked up a new medium? Or do you have a absolute favorite medium? • • • #art #painting #acrylics #acrylicpaint #acryliclandscapepainting #paintingquicksketch #paintingsketch #quickpainting #seascapepainting #cliffpainting #artistsoninstagram #traditional_art #traditionalartist #femaleartists #paintingfromlife https://www.instagram.com/p/BzLsFf0i4UQ/?igshid=hi7euzcvbo9x

Today is warm, bright and sunny and I got my Winsor & Newton Slow Drying medium (thanks to @joycehesselgrave) ready to try out. It looked and worked exactly like Liquin with oil painting but in reverse. Liquin speeds the drying of oil paint while this medium slows the drying of acrylic. It turned the acrylic paint into a jel wet long enough on the surface for me to mix. Thus I was able to use up all the paint I squeezed out. But the side effect is that the surface now looks a bit like gouache. It's matte not shiny like acrylic, which I don't mind. The information on the bottle spells out that the hues and color intensity won't change, and that seems to be true. It's still dark but a little thinner, i.e., more transparent. With the paint now wet longer I thus could swing a larger 1 inch brush and that was fun. It was hot and brutal standing under the sun. So Stuart Perlman and I finished within one hour and headed out to New Noodle City for some Vietnamese food.

It was fun playing with oil pastels and then creating an acrylic painting from my sketch. I love these earthy tones of color. Such a fun combination! . . . . #expressivelandscape #abstractlandscape #acryliclandscapepainting #sarahmjohnsonart #abstractartist #abstractart #abstractlandscapes #abstractlandscape #landscapepainting #landscapepainter #landscapepainters #abstractpainter #expressiveartist #abstractexpressionism #sarahmjohnson #expressionistpainting (at Elmhurst, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMU0J3onVrG/?igshid=1kxsao1a4irzt
