Today I painted along with a Facebook like given by "The Cheese and Wine Painting Club" . It was about and hour and a quarter of fast painting in acrylic, and we attempted to produce Monet's Footbridge in acrylic paint.
Yes I use acrylics, and yes I have tried watercolour painting, but have never tried painting in acrylics on canvas.
This painting was my nemesis at school. I can remember having to paint this using the old powder paints housed in an old bun time! (Who is old enough to remember that?) I think it was reproducing the painting that decided whether we were good enough to continue with art - needless to say I failed miserably.
So ...... although it is by no means perfect ....... you can recognise what it is meant to be, and "ya boo sucks" to my old teacher - I can now draw and paint! If only she had been able to teach us the techniques that I am learning now.
