Nick Simmons peaked my interest in fluid acrylics so I bought a half dozen basic colors. Da Vinci fluid acrylics are matched to their watercolors so it was easy to pick and choose. I bought colors I use the most from my usual palette...indigo, phthalo blue, etc. The only thing I forgot to buy was a red unfortunately. I dilute them with water and use them like watercolors so I get a lot of bang for my buck as they come in 4 oz. bottles.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-24611452602199224252010-10-05T20:22:52.660-07:002010-10-05T20:22:52.660-07:00For a piece of "tub art", I'd say it...For a piece of "tub art", I'd say it's coming along beautifully...;)maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13062265610217775154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-90209208874463103712010-10-05T18:31:02.719-07:002010-10-05T18:31:02.719-07:00Very nice painting.

I wasn't sure how to approach this subject(what techniques would work best)so I left it to sit for quite awhile before jumping in.Billie Crainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11336330932102277633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37200829.post-50851307042206382232010-10-03T11:46:19.379-07:002010-10-03T11:46:19.379-07:00I know feeling Billie, get busy and seems I neglec...I know feeling Billie, get busy and seems I neglect updating blog myself.
