And it shows Peter a different excitement always gets us going

It all works very nicely Pete, lovely picture.

Lovely stuff Pete.

Have you found your ideal medium Pete? This is another terrific painting, you use acrylics very well....I'm absolutely hopeless with them!

Hi Pete You've done a great painting here, I also follow some of Glyn's tutorials but I'm afraid they're not as good yours! So I must keep practising! I also read a book of John Blockley which inspired me to give it a go but it was on pastels, I've looked for others on watercolour but can't find anything which isn't really expensive. I've been trying out some acrylic abstracts recently and enjoy them, I always thought they would be easy to do and anyone could do them, but it's not so, to create something which is easy on the eye and painterly is difficult. Keep painting John

Acrylic on Galeria paper. 16" x 20". Thought I'd do an acrylic for a change today. This is Glyn's latest tutorial. Situated in St Ives Bay, Godrevy is one of the iconic lighthouses in Cornwall. Painted with a limited palette of Pthalo Blue, Pthalo Green, Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Cobalt Blue and Titanium White. Really enjoyed doing this one.
