Acrylic Sea Glass

I decided to try a new medium...ACRYLICS!  I have been looking for the intensity of acrylic paint when I use watercolor, but could just never get there.  This is my first attempt at freehand painting (painting with only a brush).  I wanted to have a painterly feel to this project.

I also tried a new acrylics palette that allowed me to put down globs of paint and they stayed wet and workable the entire time.  This new discovery was FANTASTIC!  It allowed me to keep painting and not feel rushed that the paint was going to dry before my colors were mixed.
