Is Bigger Better?

Acrylic paint on acrylic paper, unknown size.

I decided to go bigger this time and partially combine the previous two paintings into one. I have to say I quite enjoyed creating this one. It has a been a while since I last used an easel and meant I had to paint in a different way/angles. I also had to work probably quicker than normal, due to the area being larger, I didn't want the paint to dry and stop me from being able to mix the colours together. I definitely have not missed the standing up for a long time though. In addition to this, I think it is cute that my painting looks as though it has a beard! Anyone else agree?

Below are photos of stages to get to the final piece:

Next Step.

Acrylic paint on acrylic paper, A3.

I developed this next one to look more tribal, slightly statue/mask/totem-like with the addition this time, of two parallel lines at the top and again I used bright colours. With the cheap brushes I use, you tend to see their brush strokes within the paint, although some people may not like this, I happen to do so. With this effect it makes the subject that I am painting seem almost furry. I have not decided if this is important to the work yet.
