Last night I was at the Mezz inside the Alexandria Hotel in downtown Los Angeles painting 20 minute portraits for an event called Clusterfunk. I found four folks willing to put up with my nonsense, had a nice crowd of people watching and lots of fans. I used acrylic on these which is it's own challenge but the upside is they were dry by the end of the night. actually the difference between acrylic and oil, when painting alla prima and very impasto, is very slight... it's the same bicycle! acrylic on panel, 12 by 9

He Alex, I love the 20 m. results, if we consider, and substrate the noise of the on lookers,we have a couple of master pics for posterity.
good going
thanks Gilberto!
Hey Alex,
nice pices, I like them u are mr. portrait!
I really like the four portraits, for such a short time are great. If it was not because I have read would have thought they were done in oil, you might think this is by the strokes.
Greetings
Thanks Donald! and Concha, you make an interesting comment. People often tell me my acrylics "look like oil painting"! People usually think of acylic painting as indirect, thin washes, glazes and layers, and oil painting as direct, opaque and impasto... So I think it's because of HOW I use acrylic that makes people think it's oil, all the brushstrokes probably. ahahhaahah!
