The last piece to create for the pirate themed Pop-Up Art Bar in Tower District: The pirate! I originally wanted to create this piece with Oil Paint, as a first attempt and learning experience with Oils. But I underestimated the drying time of oil paint (I know, I know, rookie move! But hey, it was my first time using oils! Learn by doing!!) so I ended up creating an acrylic work instead. Here's what I did manage to paint before I realized that artwork deadline wasn't compatible with my personal growth goals. Eventually I will go back and work on this further. Since I still wanted to try something new, I decided to try for an impressionist style of painting with acrylic. I wanted the painting to be rich with color, so I avoided black paint. I worked from the same reference I used on the oil pirate painting. Voila! The color impressionistic painting of a pirate was created and on display at the pop-up art bar!
