I have been reading about Maxfield Parrish and how he would put a varnish glaze between each layer of color on his canvas. This must have been very time consuming and I wondered if he ever tried acrylics. Granted, acrylics were new during Parrish's time but many of his works have been damaged by his technique, I wonder if his works would have fared better if he used acrylics toward the end of his career?
Here is a winter scene done in acrylics inspired by Parrish and using Stephen Quiller's style.
