Hidemi Tada
acrylic can make such a result. this is very interesting for me. wash and dry. I want to try someday. wonderful work as usual kate.
Kate Eller replied
Hello Hidemi! Are you all settled in your new place? Yes, I used to do a lot of this with acrylics. It can be used in a watercolory way, but it’s just not as soluble as watercolor, so you have to move a little faster. Thanks for your kind comment.

So lovely! Love the gentleness in this. And acrylic too!
Kate Eller replied
Thank you Hillie. What a very nice comment. Yes, acrylics are so permanent…you have to work fast.

Very nice, especially considering that it’s acrylic and not watercolor to achieve this look.

This is so beautfiul, simplistic but also well thought out, excellent work…anna : )
Kate Eller replied
Thank you for your kind comment Annette. I was very hesitant about uploading it because of the simplicity of it. It is very small, quickly done, especially for greeting cards many years ago.
