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

Besides the gesso, I’m using fluid acrylics from Golden. 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 ground my panel with a mix of Azo Gold and Satin Glazing Liquid.

I’m working on a 16x16x1/8” ultra smooth Claybord panel from Ampersand.

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.
