Description Here was my second Painting assignment.

Left: Photo 4" 5"
Right: Painting 16" 20"
Using my own stretched canvas

The assignment:
To walk around the room and pick a dirty area of the table we liked. Then we try to recreate this area using acrylic paint and a wet-on-wet technique. This is when you work with the paints being wet the whole time.

We spent 3 sessions on these paintings and for the first two I didn't have the retardant so my paints were drying too quickly. By the third session I was much better at wet-on-wet but I still prefer dry brush.

It's not 100% spot on but I must say it is pretty close.

Great assignment, but beats me why they asked for you to work wet on wet. I'd totally work over dried layers for this. Anyway you did well given the conditions

Awesome assignment!
I think you did a great job with this.
I might have to try my hand at this sort of idea, but I don't know how to do wet-on-wet acrylic.

whoa our tables were nowhere near as messy as this XD think you did the best job about halfway down where the huge red blotch is

Thank you well these tables have been worked on for years. (Plus our professors aren't neat freaks)

very cool! I really like the one on the left cause it looks like it has more texture and wear on it, for a table top. Are the tables wood or metal? Our metal tables are the same too. Full of marks and mediums.

great job!

The one I chose was wood so these two images are of the wood tables.

I like it too. Is it a face in the background at about 2/3 of the painting? Looks like an eye.

There's not meant to be an eye but I can see what you're talking about. It would be fun to try and hide little thing like that inside the painting. ^_^
