I began the paint trial by using the acrylics as I normally do, as though they are watercolor.
I created a simple still life from a gardenia in a beautiful blue and gold vase brought to me by one of my students using a doily that she had also given to me. This was traced onto Arches 140# CP and taped to a board.
I miskited the areas of gold on the vase.
Then I put out some "dots" of the fluid acrylics and one "blob" of the cobalt Classic, and I was ready to begin.
I added some colors of blues and reddish to the flower and down the vase, and then more of the blues in the shadow area.
That was all I could do until the paper dried, so I sprayed some water on my paint and covered it with some cling wrap.

Looks like a great start, Deb!
Deb - this is looking wonderful. I can't wait to see it finished. Had an artist friend that used chroma acrylics - he really liked them. Will be glad to hear what you think. Have a great day.
Thanks guys, so far so good.
never mind ;) I see you use miskit.
I took a workshop, this summer, with an artist who masks and pours. It was very interesting and fun.
