Last week we had a kind of workshop at our Art Club. The tutor just explained the pros and cons of Acrylics and then left out lots of pictures for us to work from. No demo for those who have never used it, which I thought was a shame. I don't like acrylics and still don't so I just experimented and played, but using them was a change and a challenge, and here is what I did.

| I don't do muted colours often, as you can see! Mostly stippled with a brush for the trees and finger spread the rest of the paint and wet my fingers in water and wiped paint on on the paper. Of course the people were done with a proper brush. |

| Again played around with finger and water, palette knife for steps (actually looks like snow to me) restricted palette. The sign says the only two food words I know in Spanish - Paella and Helados (Ice cream). I am so chuffed that this painting, done on a board, has gone to a lovely home, much to my astonishment.(despite the wonky windows) Thanks Sue! |
