Description Acrylics, 40 x 30 cm

The ref was a section of a photo that I took at the Haikko Manor grounds on Friday.

I'm not that comfortable with acrylics but I felt like I needed some variety. I took me something like 6-7 hrs over two days to paint.

The reflections in the water are really nice, I like seeing all the different colours in the water and the reflections of the trees themselves. Very nice landscape!

Thank you! I really appreciate it. Good to have you back on dA. I've been terribly busy lately as well, having time to paint has become a luxury.

Glad you like it! No, we don't have gum trees in this part of the world.. They're birches, they're really common here.

Beautiful reflections, it looks like you are very comfortable with acrylics now!

Thanks, it sure turned out better than I expected I don't seem to know how to plan my layers properly though.

Can't help you there I'm afraid, I've never ventured out of watercolours, where you start with the palest area first and build up.

That's alright Apparently you're better off doing it just the opposite way with the acrylics. I'm not used to planning it out that way..

Crikey, it's taken me years to figure out one way😂 I've just signed up to a one day portrait drawing day as I'm dreadful at people, it's stressed me enough trying to find a 4B graphite pencil! 😆
