Enjoyed soooo much

Not my absolute first go with cold wax but definitely my first go at something resembling a landscape.  I live at the beach in Australia and so moody/misty mornings aren't really what we get.  We do however, get incredible sunsets and skies in general so this is what I'm going for.  

I also decided to abstract the landscape a little as that's just what I like to do.  

A difference in my painting is that I used acrylics and PowerWax.  I don't have too many oils but own lots of acrylics.  I did enjoy working with this but have found that after a while the acrylic/wax mixture was drying, much like acrylics themselves.  So, annoyingly I got lots of little "flecks" of paint when scraping a thinner mixture on the next painting.   I do own a tub of Gamblin as I'm a watercolour portrait artist and I often finish my paintings with either the Dorlands or Gamblin (as I work on Aquaboard).  I have ordered some more water mixable oils to test the process with the Gamblin. 

Lovely little class that has definitely sparked a fire in me.  Also, I instagrammed this painting and the painting sold immediately.  I didn't even offer it for sale.  So, thank you!
