Great reflections in the water! Lovely colourful painting and will be a great reminder of your holiday. If you really want to stay loose with painting I think you have to be prepared to leave things either unstated or out completely - keep the white paper as much as you can as loose painting is as much about what you leave out as how you handle the paint. However, this painting works really well and has all the atmosphere of a great holiday destination.

I really like it. i don't seem to be able to do acrylics 'loosely' like watercolour. I like the way you have handled the paint. Mine looks more like oils when I use them. Every artist has a different way of using the medium. That's why every artist's painting is so unique and interesting. Keep up the experimenting till you find your way. Jx

I like it bill good reflections in the water and I love the colours RJH

Thanks a lot to each of you for your comments and support. I will try to respond to the above advice and not overdo the "blocking In". Much appreciated. Bill.

I like it very much. Especially the reflections in the water and the different colour for the buildings. It's speaks of happiness and joy.

This is a wonderfully atmospheric painting. I like the summery feel and your reflections are beautifully done.

Love the colours, Bill. Thanks for your comments about my "Autumn Snow" - I have now added explanation!

Lovely view and beautiful reflections in the water, Bill, well done!

Thanks, Mia, once again. Bill.

This has been painted in a nice style; only thing that bothers me is the bright orange building on the right. This takes my attention away from the harbour, it ‘pulls’ my view towards this building nno matter how I try to ignore it.

This is my second attempt at acrylics, painted on watercolour paper, from a holiday snapshot of mine taken some years ago. I started off with "loose" painting intentions, but drifted into an "inbetween" situation. As you can see, there's plenty of room for improvement, but there's a lot more paper where that came from.
