Our daughter and son-in-law
got married a few years ago (well ... 7).
I had asked for a photo
of their wedding bouquet and was sent it.
I put it in my "to paint" album
and thought about it and how to do it from time to time
...
until I made a decision in March of this year.
We were going to visit in April
and I thought it would be nice
to give the painting to them when we were there.
So here are the photos
(none with progress with the paint ... i forgot)
about this little sweet bouquet
painted in acrylic!
I painted with acrylic so it would dry fast
to be able to pack it.

| Pi Day Wedding Bouquet 4 x 6 ? acrylic on prepared panel using micaceous iron oxide ground |
Here is a link from Golden brand acrylics about Micaceous Iron Oxide.
I tried it out on this small panel and then put some gray gesso over;
and you can see it peeking out and in a good light
it might show some sparkle.
It is great for dry media, pastels or colored pencils
but can also be used with acrylic or oil paint.
Have you used it?

Thanks for looking!
I really appreciate your time.
I hope you are all well and looking forward
to normalizing a bit as we all get vaccinated.
Get your vax!
