Abstract Imperessionism Aceo Painting Peony by Tresa


Hi, it’s a beautiful Sunday here in MO, I started to mow and then decided husband would get hungry so I fixed meat loaf with green peppers, onions, and ketchup, was GOOD with homemade potato salad.

So husband decided to take a nap and I didn’t want to wake him up mowing (sounds like a good excuse, huh?) so I did an aceo (small painting, 2.5 inches by 3.5, colored pencil on acid free paper), a flower from my imagination, I was thinking rose but it turned into a peony, probably because they are blooming here.

You can see it on ebay HERE.

It has quite a few layers actually looks more like an oil than a colored pencil in a way, I blend, burnish and push till every little pore of the paper is filled in and then the layers start. This particular aceo is heavily layered. The colors I used are all prismacolor and if anyone is interested are:

White

Process Red

Spanish Orange

Rosy Beige

Deco Pink

Spring Green

Marine Green

Pink Rose

Black Cherry

Raspberry
