Primarily a watercolor artist, Heidi Willis breaks down her approach to working with a new medium
After many years working in watercolor, I was approached by one of my clients to produce a painting for them, only this time the painting was to be displayed in a public place where the painting needed to be both vibrant and durable. Discussing the unique needs of the artwork, we considered our options and decided to take an exciting side step into acrylics. With that commission and shift in medium, a whole new and beautiful world was opened up to me. This article takes a look at my journey and work in acrylics, a new medium I've grown to thoroughly enjoy!
