ha ha, well thank you very much for what you did say 
I have a quick question for you concerning your acrylic technique, do you use a retarder or any other solutions to help with the blending or make the drying time longer?

Interesting coincidence. I've been just starting to work in acrylic. I've done only a few over the years.
I found a bottle of Liquitex "Slow Dry Blending Fluid Medium" that must be 20+ years old. I don't think I ever used it. What I did was spray the acrylics with water to keep them wet. But I had cause to use this Liquitex medium and it still works. Try it!

Thank you! I bought Golden additive retarder the other day and when I added it to my paint it seemed to make it really gooey and thick making it hard to spread even after adding water to it. Maybe I added too much? I will have to experiment some more. I will however try the spray bottle and have heard of some people adding a bit of the retarder to the spray bottle's water. I prefer oil paint but all of the turpentines I have tried (even the odorless) give me headaches so I am really trying to find a way to use the wet on wet technique using acrylics.

Thank you! I am actually working on making my own traditional webshop but I have so many other things to tend to first! It is my dream to one day sell enough of my art that I don't need to work

great painting, love the texture through the field and the old house, that single bird is a really nice touch.

Hi! Nice painting, nice colors too! It reports a bit of grief feeling... One observation: the sky line is pararell with the hill, which breaks a bit of it's natural freedom. You can remember this tip for the next ones!

Thanks for the tip, I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. Yes it is a gloomy painting isn't it, I think I was somewhat depressed when I painted this one

Hey Giselle,
I really enjoy looking at this piece. I havent seen any of your other work yet, but I must say, I really enjoy your color usage and the way you handle the sunlight in the sky. Bravo. I am working more on my lighting in my work. I would love to be in this painting looking at that sky. You portrayed it well.
