    Hehe “God, acrylic is hard work! I keep going back to my comfort world of watercolour” you’re amazing!! Ahh .. acrylics rules :) Ok, serious now.
    Stunning work x I looove the sunrise and the colours of the sky (I always love the way you make the sky). Not matter how “hard work” you are complaining that acrylic is, you did a wonderful painting.

    A wonderful painting! The sky and reflections are just great. I have never used anything but acrylics and I wonder why you find them hard work. I always found them very forgiving because you can hide all your mistakes

    Colin, considering you mastered watercolor in only…what…3 months?, you will probably master acrylics before you know it. In the meant time, I’m glad to cheer you on. Keep at it! Lookin’ good.

    Brilliant work Colin !
    The sky and the vibrant colours work well !
    I agree, watercolour is my favourite medium, but you can correct mistakes much easier with acrylics !

    WOW! You may not feel comfortable but you are certainly good. I think watercolor is as hard as all get out but I love the medium enough to keep trying. I recently stated your gallery and a few others are the reason I’ve been trying watercolors. Your work is quite beautiful and inspiring. The flow here is simply beautiful.

    Thanks very much, Marjorie.This was my second acrylic, and I wasn’t too comfortable with the medium. Now I’ve just finished my first oil.
