THE SOUND OF THUNDER

The Sound of Thunder is a collection of acrylic paintings on paper. First of all I drew about 12 pencil thumbnails. These paintings were from the ones I liked most. I will never again paint with thick acrylic on paper without first painting a layer of Gesso. The acrylic was hard to put on and of course it dried very quickly and it was difficult (almost impossible) to match the original colors because they change when dry. I gather there are new acrylic paints which dry the same color as painted. I did enjoy the idea and may continue, using some more of the thumbnails.
