As you can see, I`ve been beavering away, painting lots of little canvases in acrylics. I don`t "get on" with acrylics, I would say that they are my least favorite medium. I don`t normally like painting with them, but I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed painting theses small canvases. I painted 20 in total, all local scenes. I was actually liking painting in acrylics, and thought I`d conquered my fears, but I went to Jean`s house to paint last night, and feeling brave, I decided to paint a 16x 20" canvas..................which was a biggggggg mistake! I felt like I was back at square one. I intend to finish the big painting, in the hopes that it will all come together in the end. I`m at the ugly stage at the minute......fingers crossed I can paint my way past this stage.
