Its been many, many years since I last picked up a paint brush - and so, a painting attempt was long overdue. I bought a rather large canvas - 4 ft by 2 1/2 and after some noodling around came up with this picture. It was my first time working with acrylics - I've always painted with oils. The quick drying time which hampered blending was made up for by the lack of mess and the ability to finish a painting in under two hours. It's definitely something I'll be trying again. I think that the sheen on the acrylic lacks depth and so I'm looking to add a layer of gloss over it to mimic an oil finish.
