Some new acrylics

by Michael Durant
I've been trying out different supports and different sizes.

This first one is small - 41x27cm ("6P" in french format which is actually meant to be for horizontal landscapes), on canvas board.

 This second is much bigger and on 10mm smooth MDF - 46x62cm

 I find that the former is hard work due to the 'key' of the canvas surface and makes me feel I must get some better acrylic brushes to work more in impasto

The smooth mdf is easier to utilise glazing techniques (partly transparent layers).
