‘Lee’ painting 35 x 21 inches

May 21, 2009 By Mike Lyon

This was a ‘quickie’ test of painting on paper using a Paasche Flow Pencil and Golden liquid acrylic paints.  I first toned the paper using dilute sumi and a bit of prussian blue pigment, applying it quickly with a sponge until the paper seemed about mid-value.  Then I applied white paint over the paper, then black paint and…  VOILA!  Seems to have worked pretty well during this small test…  About 14 hours of actual painting plus several days of preparation to figure out all the gazillion lines!  OH!  And this is an image of my Father!
