Atelier Interactive Acrylics & 4th of July

I got a sample of Chroma Atelier Interactive Acrylics about a week ago and got a chance to try them out yesterday. I struggle with acrylics because my first medium of choice is watercolor. I wanted to see what I could do with these since they stay wet longer than regular acrylics. Although I still struggle with the drying time on acrylics, I found that I liked working with these. One of the things that I had to battle with before was the limited palette that I had in interactive acrylics - red, white & blue only. This sample included some Unlocking Formula that I tried with my regular yellow acrylic. I still need to practice more with these in order to get really comfortable with them, but for now, this is what I accomplished.

Happy 4th of July!

Went into my gnat straining stage and worked on this some more.

Made shadow under brim of hat more pronounced.
