Which Paints?

Written By Linda Leong-Son

Acrylic

I have tried all types of paints and seem to return to acrylics.

Acrylic dries quickly and once I get started, I paint really fast. I usually have a hair dryer in one hand and a paint brush in the other because I am so impatient, I cant wait for the paint to dry!  So It was the quick drying that initially drew me to acrylic, then I was hooked!

Once the paint has dried, you can continue to add thin watery layers, or you can use a knife to build up thick layers adding texture. If you are not happy, just add a bit of white, let it dry and you start again!

Linda Leong-Son

From her Suffolk studio in Bury St Edmunds, she creates inspiring and ever-evolving bodies of work that reflects both her natural talent and her instinctive connection to people and place.

Linda is a truly versatile and accomplished artist, working across pen, pencil, watercolour, oils and predominantly acrylic on canvas. Her work is rich with movement, colour and feeling, her vibrant energy becoming the thread that runs through every piece she creates.

Her art does more than sit quietly on a wall. It engages. It connects. It invites the viewer into a shared experience, often becoming part of their own story. Whether through original works or commissions, Linda brings a rare ability to translate emotion into something tangible and lasting.
