Richard's Garrapata Wave- W27

Acrylics 9.4 x 9.4 in. t This was tough work. Thought of taking my acrylics again,but realized that with oils it would have been easier...! Acrylics dry up sooo fast! Blending and softening IS complex with acrylics!
I'd appreciate any constructive comments!

Comment by Ningning Li on November 20, 2013 at 14:23: Silvana, I agree with all the comments here. Strong contrast of beautiful Colors, dramatic but natural movement of the water and waves. Absolutely Beautiful!!!

Comment by Pauline Le Merle on November 20, 2013 at 11:33: It's gorgeous Silvana, very exciting colour and movement going on. I love it :-}

Comment by Sharon Casavant on November 20, 2013 at 6:47: only time I use acrylics is when I run out of oils! lol But you did a fantastic job of it! nice warm/cool complimentary colors!

Comment by Ann Turner on November 19, 2013 at 15:11: Beautiful contrast in this painting ! The beach is exceptionally beautiful. The water moves forward nicely nd I like the energy with a hint of clouds in the sky. You mentioned that you might fix wave on right, it doesn't call attention to itself now and seems right to me for keeping the attention on the focal.

Comment by Silvana M Albano on November 19, 2013 at 8:49: Thank you Pandalana! Thanks Robin! Definitely, acrylic underpainting and oil 'overpainting' is an excellent combination!

Comment by Silvana M Albano on November 19, 2013 at 8:43: Jessica, your comments are always so encouraging! I won't change the beach! But I am really considering in changing that right part of the wave when I have some time!!!!! It's the end of the year at school and there are zillion things which must be done....

Comment by Silvana M Albano on November 19, 2013 at 8:36: Thank you Joy, Laura, Linda!! :)!

Paul, thank you for your comment! I'll be looking forward to your finished panting! I know there is a product which helps oils dry faster, but still didn't buy it. Water mixable oils is another option, but they are quite expensive around here, so I'll try them when I run out of the traditional ones!

Comment by Robin Sage on November 19, 2013 at 8:18: The vibrancy of this painting Silvana really caught my eye! Having always been an acrylic painter I can totally empathise with you. I am in the process of experimenting and changing to water soluble oils and am starting to feel some of those old frustrations falling off especially as we come into summer here . I thought I would use up the acrylic paint for under painting which is apparently OK.

Comment by Pandalana Williams on November 19, 2013 at 4:38: Beautiful!

Comment by Jessica Futerman on November 18, 2013 at 21:46: Silvana, I think you've done a fantastic job here! Especially with acrylics! Your beach is especially beautiful, so I hope you won't change it!
