The Sunday Art Show - Blue and Brooding - Angus Bull Painting Demo


This week, I paint a black angus bull using interactive acrylics. Decided to paint this following a viewer request. Materials used (affiliate links) Daler Rowney Mixed Media boards Synthetic flat and round brushes Atelier interactive acrylic paints: Ultramarine Burnt Umber Permanent Alizarine Cadmium Yellow Deep Titanium White See the hi-res version, zoom into different parts of the painting or buy a print etc here: Enjoyed painting this with a slightly different palette to usual as I used cadmium yellow deep & permanent alizarin for the first time along with the usual colours above. Started with some loose painterly lines in burnt umber and then gradually added thin layers of colour to build up the deep shadows and darks. The interactives allow for very subtle highlights to be readily blended and the cadmium deep yellow background makes the dark hide of the angus bull really pop. Hope you enjoy this one, see you next Sunday for the next episode of the Sunday Art Show.
