Working on slate is a wonderful challenge. The slate soaks

up the paint like a sponge. It takes many layers to achieve the density your looking for. Sometimes you think you got the color just right and then your paint starts to fade away. Once you get a few layers of paint down it starts behaving like a regular painting.

I enjoy trying to make the image grow out of the slate.

I've been having a blast working on these paintings. Working on a dark surface is a challenge. It takes a little time to start getting the colors to be brilliant. Acrylic paint has a transparency nature to it. So the dark gray of the slate shows thru until you have plenty of paint laid down. I build up the color slowly until I reach the density and brilliance I'm looking for.
