Now I switch from acrylic paint to oil or alkyd or a combination of both. Oil and alkyd paints are completely intermixable and can be used in any ratio if you want to mix them together. It is quite acceptable to paint oil based paints over top of acrylic but never the other way around, since acrylic paints are water based. Here I have painted in the night sky and the moon, giving it a bit of a glow. By adding a few stars in the sky, I have created a nice backdrop for the majestic victorian building, which is the centerpiece of the painting.
The Art of Richard De Wolfe is intended to show how I make my art, things that interest me creatively, and what I am working on at the moment. If what you find here interests you, please 'bookmark me', come back often and visit my Gallery, too!
