These are two more boards that I’m painting for the Penkhull panto. This time I have black boards to paint on and it’s taking a lot of paint! I think the acrylic paints I used are a bit too thin. The colour seems to sink in, not float on the surface so that they won’t show up as well on the stage. I’m going to get some stronger paint for next week with more pigment and less filler in them.
These two took a while to paint and it was very cold in the hall. I’m ready for some warm food and a rest.

These are blackboards like in schools or? I like the paintings. I often paint on a black canvas/panel, you know, when I’m channeling Caravaggio or something. 😉

They are foam boards, the surface is quite soft but the paint doesn’t sink in very well.. Sort of sucks water away and deadens the colour. I have black canvases for other projects but they work better than the foam boards.
