Miss Otago. III

Here is the third painting of the series. This is the acrylic version. Today was a good day for laying the work in, but not so good for finishing. It was hot, dry, and breezy. The advantages are the rapid drying, but the disadvantages lie in the rapid drying. Sigh.

This is one of those plein air pieces that will have to be fine tuned in the studio, where the drying rate of the final glazes can be controlled. It looks ok now, but I will post the final version later. You may be interested to compare them.

Some artists prefer to finish an acrylic under painting with oil glazes, but I personally am uneasy about mixing and layering different mediums. For this reason the final glazes will be acrylic.
