My Acrylic Painting Process

Here’s my palette:

Azo Gold
Pyrole Red
Pyrole Orange
Cadmium Yellow
Burnt Sienna
Raw Sienna
Burnt Umber Light
Naples Yellow
Cobalt Blue
Ultramarine Blue
Teal
Carbon Black
White Gesso

I’m using fluid acrylics from Golden Paints. To thicken I use white gesso. For glazing and thinning I use Satin Glazing Liquid from Golden. This also slows the drying time of my acrylic paint mixes.

For the initial sketch I’m using Light Umber Premier Brush Markers from Prismacolor.

After the sketch, I cover my panel with a mix of Azo Gold and Satin Glazing Liquid.

I’m working on a 16x16” ultra smooth Claybord panel from Ampersand Art Supply.

My most commonly used brushes:

Utrecht Mixed Synthetic Flats 4-18
Blick Studio Synthetic Stroke ½” and 1”
Hake Brush

My easel is the French Easel by Julian found at Blick.

This painting was based on a combination of freehand sketch, photos, and AI generated imagery.
