I always thought acrylic was a bit like oil in that if you made a mistake, you could just paint over it and it would be practically invisible. I'm painting trees on a very bright grass and got the size wrong so painted over but the pencil shapes showed through so I painted white daubs and lines over the old shapes hoping I could deal with it this morning. The pencil lines are invisible, but when I paint over the white, the green just becomes lighter green over a white blob. :'( :'( Apart from these stupid blobs I really thought I had painted something worthwhile and even something I could keep. Please can anyone help me?
