My First Landscape Painting Attempt in Acrylic - Finished















OK I am calling this one done :), There are things I really like about it and there are things I might do differently if I painted this again not that I am going to do that) Over all it was a great experience with acrylics, I am still working away at my others, I will post them when I get a chance. Thanks for stopping in, have a great day!

  6. Very nice, Krista. It's always nice to challenge oneself and step out of the comfort zone to try something different. You will come away richer in knowledge and experience for it.

  7. Your first acrylic landscape...I can only imagine how beautiful your fifth and tenth will be. You have already achieved such excellent results. This is beautiful.
    I really love the composition of this painting.

  15. Off to a wonderful start. Lovely piece. Looking forward to seeing what you do, how you change and how you grow as you do more of these. Inevitably aren't there always things you'd like to do better? (I always find that on every painting, which I believe to be a good sign.) The day I think I've "done it" is the day I'll hang it up! To grow one has to continue to find the "not right" stuff! Darn it all anyway! ;-)

  17. Hi Krista!.... A lovely... strong and well planned landscape!A great use of the road as a compositional device to draw the eye inescapably towards the intended copse of colour in the middle ground!
