RE: Artist Statement—Matt Philleo
Nice tip on using the clear acrylic. I often see acrylic paintings that look like plastic - but your work is oil like, it's amazing. Gives me pause to take a second look at acrylics (much cheaper than oils too!)
Thanks for posting!
Thank you, Groundcontrol. Yes, the glazing technique that I learned in that one week summer art camp while in high school was more valuable (and less expensive) than a year of art school! I love acrylic. I may do a post in this in the future saying why. But it is very versatile and dries so fast--so it's great when you have a commissioned portrait that you have to finish, proof, and ship all in the same day!
