Peach Paintings

May 5, 2022 – Both of these acrylic paintings are 8″ x 8″. The objective was to experiment with modeling paste to create a texture that would enhance the subject of the painting.

I used modeling paste on the peaches only while I left the background to be a semitransparent white. At the time of this painting, I had only used acrylic paint yet desired to get the effect that oil has on canvas. The modeling paste was mixed straight into my paint and I made it so that the brushstrokes follow the shape of each fruit.
