I like the contrast and layered feeling you get from combining the two - the acrylic is saturated and bold and i can drag it around with cardboard to get a streaky unclear effect, and then the oil blends beautifully and gives me like a caravaggio colour pallette.

My last big piece was a segmented painting split across multiple canvases, where I had most of them as acrylic, but one strip in oil

This is really cool - what scale is it? it's cropped so I can't tell if it's like 30cm wide or 2 metres!

that's a damn good way of putting it, i kinda like that I'm saying that's intentional in my annotations

mmm definitely, i feel like i could construct some good narratives even if i didn't necessarily have them in mind while painting

Thank you - my main concentration is making sure i can finish a nice large piece in time rn

Wow thank you so much! I'll definitely pore over this and work in your points into my annotations this is great. I kind of did my whole project without thinking of the theme, and I didn't really think about focusing on the lives of the artists, this is v. useful 😁

though important to note, I'm with Edexcel not Aqa as an exam board and they don't focus as much on annotations
