"Girl in Brown and Gold" 2008 Acrylic on canvas 24 x 30 inches
 “Girl
in Brown and Gold” is an original, signed acrylic painting on a
gallery-wrapped canvas by Citrus County Florida Artist Michael
Arnold. "I like painting people with interesting faces or in an unusual
context. The young girl in this painting looks a bit apprehensive as she
glances over her shoulder while embarking on her journey, which looks
ominous. The road that leads to where? We don’t know. The dead tree? Is
it that death awaits at the end of the journey? I used only yellow oxide
and burnt umber to create this artwork. The somber earth tones add to
the mystery of the painting".

This slow drying aspect of oil can be seen as an advantage for certain techniques, but in other regards it impedes the artist trying to work quickly. The fast evaporation of water from the acrylic paint film can be slowed with the use of acrylic retarders. Retarders are generally glycol or glycerin-based additives. Oil paints tend to require the addition of a toxic solvent, such as mineral spirits or turpentine to thin the paints and clean up tools, though relatively recently water soluble oil paints have been developed for artist use. Secondly, oil paint films become increasing yellow and brittle, and will lose their flexibility in a few decades. Acrylics can be used on many surfaces without a medium- layer. They allow sharp brush-strokes but also a more delicate shading, although it is more difficult to create a smooth change between different shades. They are usually very bright. Although the permanency of acrylics is sometimes debated by conservators, they appear more stable than oil paints. Sold |
