Acrylic paintings: Hope For Japan, Glazing Experiments & Homicidal Squirrels

It's been so long since I've done any non-digital painting but I was inspired to take out my acrylics and attempt something for the Art For Japan fundraising effort:

HopeForJapan

While I had my acrylics out, I decided to paint something to put into the Interfilk/convention auction at FilKONtario in a couple of weeks:

Beware The Squirrel - acrylics painting

The middle bit is actually a mirror, which I've covered over with tape to protect it from the paint.

And then I started experimenting with glazing, a technique where you lay layers of very thin washes over each other to gradually build up color:

Experimenting with glaze medium in acrylics

I'm going to add a monster to the above, I think.

Of course. :-)
