You've given me inspiration to give acrylics a try!

Sharon thanks! I'd be happy to tell you how I did this..  I used the credit card the same way you would plaster a wall..I had a lot of practice when we remodeled our house, :)  layer by layer and a lot of scraping back and reapplying. I mixed the paint on the pallet with the credit card, most of the time is wasn't quite totally mixed, and then applied to the canvas. The water reflection area I pulled the colors down as I went or across. Thus the mottled texture there.  All the detail work was done with the flat brush.  I did use a drybrush effect a lot - I just looked up what that meant!  I only add water to my acrylics unless it really needs it. I'm using grumbacher academy acrylics.  Hope that helps!

Jess, I really like the effect you created throughout your painting. Can you tell me how you did this...by using the credit card or did you also use a drybrush effect with your brush?  It looks wonderful!

Though I used a much smaller brush with this one.  :)

Lori, thank you!   Last workshop Richard had us try to loosen up by painting with a credit card cut up and a big brush - I decided to try it out in this workshop also.  :)
