My First Acrylic Painting

It's been quite awhile since I've created a post.  My guild had a show/sale and I was getting pieces ready for it.
For this show, I decided that I would try my hand at acrylics.  This was quite a step from the watercolours that I usually do.  I was hoping to take a class, but it was cancelled due to low enrolment. So, it came down to doing some research on the internet about different techniques and styles.

I'm not an abstract painter, but I thought that I would give it a try.  I put on a lot of soft acrylic paint and used a large palette knife (more like a trowel) to move the paint around.  I poured some into a squirt bottle and used it to splatter some more paint on it.  Needless to say, things were quite thick.  It took quite a long time for the paint to dry.  About 2 days.  I quite like the way it turned out.  I liked the freedom to play around with the paint and not worry about it looking like a particular thing.  When I was done, I thought that it looked a bit like some woods with rocks.  Here it is.

This summer, I think that I will try some more.  Perhaps I will go crazy and paint outside.  That way, I can splatter, flick, and spray paint without having to worry about getting it on my carpet and walls.  It may end up looking like a cross between and a kindergarten painting and a Pollock.  That would be interesting, right?  When it's done, I'll post it.  Wish me luck.
