     Thanks so much! I am currently really feeling these muddy-ish colors with a tinge of warm yellow.

   I’ve not tried loose acrylic yet. What do you use to make it thinner — water, or another medium? This suggests the brow of a small boat to me. I really like the colors and flow.

     Thanks for commenting! I just use water to thin out the acrylic paint. Although you can use mediums as well because with water you can go overboard and the paint loses bonding strength. Too much water can lead to water stains, unless that’s what you want! Many people use mediums to make the paint not dry as fast as well…although I’m no expert at all. Just playing around!

   This is fun! I’d be spending all day turning it upside down; right side up, this way and that. Something quite exciting about the organic flow of paint; neat colors too.

     I definitely like to let the paint sort of dribble around and flow…I just like the effect it creates…the watermark type of thing.
