Practising with different media

"The bokeh city painting collection is growing steadily. I still have enough inspiration to add a few other cities to this collection. Sometimes the paintings work out in one go and with others I am struggling enormously. I usually work with acrylic paints; nice and easy, I have all kinds of colours, it dries fast so I can easily work with different layers. On the other hand, it dries so quickly that blending the colours and creating the vague effect of bokeh (out of focus) does not always work well. Then oil paint offers a good alternative! It dries incredibly slowly, which makes blending easier. Recently I have been practising a bit more with layers of oil paint on a base layer of acrylics ('Utrecht') or working completely with oil paint ('Paris)"
