This is a mixed media painting with acrylic and pastels: Poppy Dance.
I made a movie showing the process, I took my video camera to the studio, recorded most of the process (except a few slides at the beginning and at the end) and then increased the movie frame rate about 8 times.
It was interesting for me to see the process as I seem to be improvising less than what I was thinking I would be. Perhaps it is the effect of the acceleration but it looks like I have a plan 🙂
For this painting I added a lot of layers then at one point you see me scrubbing the background to remove some of the paint because I wanted an aged look and also recover some of my original layers.

The well-balanced sets are chosen from Amsterdam’s full range of 70 genuine artists’ colors, formulated with high concentrations of authentic, non-fading pigments. These heavy body paints are exceptionally durable and flexible due to their 100% acrylic resin formulation. – Expert Series Set of 12
Towards the end of the movie I add layers of dry pastels also, I like mixing acrylics and pastels, these medium work well together, they are both mat and pastel adheres well to the acrylic surface.

Thanks Yevgenia 🙂 I had fun watching me painting because I don’t think too much when I do it so it gives a different perspective.
