White-faced Ibis

White-faced ibis, acrylic on board A couple of weeks ago a bunch of us were given a piece of plywood, 8“x8”, and asked to do something on it that could be auctioned off for a fundraiser.

I don’t really paint and I really don’t paint in acrylics, but it seemed like the thing to do if I wanted to get it done in time. Really wish I’d done egg tempera and oil, but that will have to be next time.

There are about 18 glazes on that ibis. I know: you can’t tell, and it doesn’t seem like it looks very different than it would if I had just glommed paint on there in one go. But live and learn.

  1. Do it in egg tempera next time and those glazes will sing!
