Acrylic painting

I took a 'Palette Knife Painting' workshop by Cathy Demko www.cathydemko.com yesterday at theBatesville Area Arts Council.  This was my first time to use acrylic.  I thought acrylic is much easier than oil painting.  I couldn't handle palette knife well, so I painted mostly with my brush.  I learned I could use oil painting on acrylic.  I could use this mix medium for my project sometime.




I spent all afternoon today to select about 100 photos from my picture files to use for my project.  I realized I took a lot of pictures of sky wherever I went.  I am fascinated by the formation of clouds.  While trying to select appropriate pictures, I started getting some idea of what kind of theme I should have between the first and the last paintings.  I went to Wal-mart to have them developed, but it was too late; they were about to close.  I will have them developed tomorrow.
