I needed to test out my choice of media on canvas so I
started with acrylic which went on quite easily although it was difficult to
replicate the colour of the horse with the basic paints I had and it was a
little bit darker than the original. For the second sample I used oil paint
from the beginning it was my intention to use oil paint at some stage in this
project so I thought it would be good to use it on my final piece. Oil paint is
of a thicker consistency and was quite difficult to spread over the stretched
canvas with emulsion covering it, though it was difficult I had managed to get
the right colours and it looked better in oil rather than acrylic. So in
conclusion I think I will be using oil for my final piece.
