My ArtVenture: Experiment Acrylic over Graphite “Templar: Defeated”

Hello my dear Steemians,

It is really sad to finish my weekly topic and my painting series. I enjoyed it very much and was very glad to be able to share with you one of my passions, passion to mysterious, conspiracy theories based on real events. It is just like been a part of Indiana Jones or Prof. Robert Langdon from “The Da Vinci Code”. I think if I have not chosen my current profession then I would probably go to study history.

My experiment acrylic over graphite:

Today I would like to present you unusual painting that I decided to do on one of one of my old watercolor paper, that about 8 years ago my son just decided to use to draw a Map of Europe, but since that day never was interested anymore. From my side I kept this paper because I usually try to use them for different tests, like testing brushes, technique or colors.

As you may be know in old time the artists sometimes made their works on the top of old one that they did not like or found them not successful, so it is not unusual way of art.

Yesterday I found it again and because I did not know what to do with it, I just decided to use it for my acrylic painting to test. I know that acrylic paints give good overage but was not sure if the light colors strong enough to cover graphite.

My conclusion, the colors really can give nice coverage but only you can see the prints from the pressure on the graphite pencils, so you may see the pressure lines and recognize what was underneath.

Therefore my advice, if you want to re-use your art work surface do not press to hard if using pencils and do not do much texture if you want to re-use acrylic or oil paintings.
