Don't quit just ...i love this circle painting!! Don't quit just yet with the acrylics... it takes a little while to get comfortable with it. You're on the right path. And remember, you can put as much (or little) water as you want, so if you tend to be more comfortable with watercolors, just use more water until you get more comfortable with the texture and consistency. I really do love the circle painting... great colors. xoxopaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13368752624832830591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-28172309336527922862012-05-07T05:39:19.462-05:002012-05-07T05:39:19.462-05:00I think acrylics are tough because you can't m...I think acrylics are tough because you can't make the color move like watercolor. However I recently bought some liquid acrylic artist's ink. Haven't tried them yet. Your color and texture are great.

I think there are fluid acrylics which are watery but not sure what brand is that. I like your painting of the pattern with colors. very simple but cool to the eyes. Just keep going no matter what, Anne.

I think you are doing great though. I like your textures. Do you use any mediums with your acrylics? And I love that you are sketching in you sketchbook...even if you have just 5 minutes you can draw something! Even a doodle. I have been carrying around a small book lately to my kids baseball games and have been jotting down ideas and trying to sketch people quickly.Dana Barbierihttp://www.danabarbieri.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3042521780804023798.post-31836154401897514592012-05-06T03:53:26.417-05:002012-05-06T03:53:26.417-05:00I love the stuff you're creating!
