This looks interesting - what was the task? Your other paintings also look good. Are they also from your class? What was the framework here?

I really like this. How was it done?

ONE COMMENT DESERS ANOTHER .. i SEE A STYLE DEVELOPING AND ON WITH ONE DEVIATION INTERESTING HOW WAS IT ACHIEVED

Thank you. In our beginners' acrylic class we have been painting for 7 sessions with thick paint. This week, as an intoduction to runny acrylic, we blobbed it onto the paper and blew at it through a straw.

Think it's worth a go?? Jx

Or added acrylic come to that!!! But keeping it's simplicity. Jx
