Wow Terri - you're doing this all with acrylics? That's wonderful. How will you modify the transitions? You obviously have a lot of experience to work with - do you have a set method or do you go with the flow? Do you save colors to work back in as glazes so you can modify the edges? Which brand of paint do you use?

I like the edge quality you're getting in the low contrast shadow areas. I just switched to oils a year ago - I was under the impression that they were more toxic than they are, and wasn't aware of safe but effective solvents like Turpenoid natural. (No flake white though, sorry Steven). I painted in acrylics for about 15 years but was never able to get the effects you're getting which are nearly oil-like - what's your secret?
