Artist, Lynn Burton, in many cases, will do his work with acrylic under painting. “It’s just something I rely on to work out the many details of my work that often becomes finished oil paintings…you know, whatever it takes to get it right,” he said this morning when Art Center Information had an opportunity to speak to him.
“As far as I’m concerned, this picture is already a finished painting…makes a great acrylic painting the way it is. It gives an almost ghostly, spiritual sense about it with the grays and pale mauves and would fit decoratively in many homes,” his brother and founder of Art Center Information, Richard Burton, said.
I’ve always enjoyed working in acrylics, finishing several works,” Richard continued. He is mostly known for his wet-in-wet watercolor works. The painting to the right is a segment of a 24″X 36″ Acrylic painting he painted a few years back. (The complete painting is in the Burton Family Gallery {above}.
Lynn actually does much of his drawing and details of his compositions in many of his oils with the acrylic under painting, this is why he can get as little or as much detail in his paintings. It helps him work out his values, he gets to experiment with color and chroma if necessary, however, with his many years of experience, much of this he does in the muse of his mind. “Sometimes, you just get into a zone and when you come out of it, it’s all there…a finished work of art…don’t ask me!?” He says.
Although Lynn paints compositions of many genres, his work recently has been with a Southwest art motif. He is doing this because Southwest Art is appreciated in many states. He was born in New Mexico, and lives in Texas…enough said?
His work can be found above in his gallery, but this is not all his works. He sells his work on the internet as well in galleries. On the internet, it is found at the following link> http://fineartamerica.com/
