The Sunday Art Show - Blue and Brooding - Angus Bull Painting Demo





This week, I paint a black angus bull using interactive acrylics. Decided to paint this following a viewer request. Materials used (affiliate links)
Daler Rowney Mixed Media boards

Synthetic flat and round brushes

Atelier interactive acrylic paints:
Ultramarine

Burnt Umber

Permanent Alizarine

Cadmium Yellow Deep

Titanium White

Enjoyed painting this with a slightly different palette to usual as I used cadmium yellow deep & permanent alizarin for the first time along with the usual colours above. Started with some loose painterly lines in burnt umber and then gradually added thin layers of colour to build up the deep shadows and darks. The interactives allow for very subtle highlights to be readily blended and the cadmium deep yellow background makes the dark hide of the angus bull really pop. Hope you enjoy this one, see you next Sunday for the next episode of the Sunday Art Show.
