A couple from Austin purchased this acrylic painting of mine, and have commissioned a bluebonnet landscape to hang with it. I thought it would be fun to take you through the commission process with me. Though I paint more in watercolors, I like doing commissions in acrylic, because then the customer can look at the work-in-process photos and say something like, "Oh. I was picturing something much lighter." And I can add layers of paint until it suits.
When I paint with watercolors, usually the painting does not turn out exactly the way even I was picturing it! But that is part of the fun of watercolors. They are unpredictable and unforgiving.
