Oversimplified W47

13.5 x 14.5 cm. Acrylics. Had a horrible cell phone cover black with white dots....decided to paint RR W47 on it...changed it a bit, so that it could be seen decently at the front .... I wonder how long it will stay there.... I'll varnish it ...
Comments and critiques welcome!! there is something on the boats reflection I don't like,,, perhaps too green?

Comment by Ningning Li on November 1, 2015 at 4:07: Silvana, you are so creative. I admire you! What a fresh and clean colours you applied! I love this impressive beautiful work.

Comment by Silvana M Albano on October 2, 2015 at 11:06: Thx Michael! Apparenrly it is a leather flip cover...

Comment by Michael J. Severin on October 1, 2015 at 15:49: Silvana, what material is the cell phone cover. I can look it up in my Artist Handbook and see if it is covered (no pun intended). Maybe I can find out if there is some kind of sealer to put on first so the paint adheres. ??

Comment by Silvana M Albano on October 1, 2015 at 15:24: Well,... With all this help I feel in debt... I'll have to paint over it...and Lori, I think sandpapering it is what I should have done!!. Or... covering it with some transparent contact sticky paper...

Comment by Lori Ippolito on October 1, 2015 at 14:57: Silvana, what if you first 'rough' it with a little sandpaper or steel wool, then try painting. Maybe that will stop it from peeling!

Comment by Richard Robinson on October 1, 2015 at 14:49: What a shame the paint cracked off! Sorry if the critique was confusing. Pretty sure you've got it now though with everyone's help.

Comment by Dorian Aronson on October 1, 2015 at 14:32: Hello again

Silvana, thanks for replying! Michael's comment has helped me greatly. Did not understand from the critique. Smiles :-)

Comment by Silvana M Albano on October 1, 2015 at 11:36: Hi Dor! Perhaps it's clearer in the critique! I'll paste here what is relevant to your question : 'the waterline of the black boat should be horizontal and the mast needs straightening. Also the light stripe between the boat and its reflection could be removed to connect the boat better with the water, oh and you could remove the dark textures from the reflection too.' Ks!!

Comment by Michael J. Severin on October 1, 2015 at 10:58: Hi Dorian. I think what Richard was referring to was the boat and its reflection are tilting uphill at an angle ...Richard states that they should be horizontal. Actually, he said that ..it should be horizontal ..using a pronoun without a noun modifier. Okay, okay, I know ....I am the husband of a teacher and get this all of the time!!! :))
