Well! That was a wild success. Lots of kids, lots of energy! Each kid got a free poster-sized drawing by me of the thing they asked me to teach them how to draw.

If I do an acrylic painting it dries several shades darker than I painted it. You can plan around this but it’s super annoying.
However seems only true of larger paintings. If I do a tiny little one it dries the same as when it was wet.
Is the drying darker factor because of the paint thickness?

PDQ - oil paint on unstretched canvas, 1989 ...lost, presumed destroyed.
Painted the summer between undergrad at UVM and graduate school at Maryland Institute, I think.
