Classic Octavious Sage, 'Fruit Dish, 2012'. 21st Century Art - https://www.etsy.com/shop/InstantARTS
California Revival. This is my first ever painting using acrylic mediums. I received the acrylic paint as a Christmas gift. I was not sure how to use acrylic so I treated it like oil paint. This piece took me three days to paint! The paint was low grade and dried very quickly especially in the Los Angeles climate. I was frustrated at not being able to get proper coverage with the white hence an off color fruit dish. I used multiple techniques to get a desired finish without success. After I finished this piece I researched acrylic paints and realized that much higher quality acrylic paints were available and that the drying time was completely different from oil paints. I now paint my pieces in hours rather than days and I use the drying time to my advantage because I am an impulsive artist with an impatient desire to bring my work to life instantly. Acrylic mediums allow me to do this in addition to making it possible for me to paint indoors where oil based mediums take a longer time to dry and are positively lethal inside the home of an asthmatic!!!
