Watercolour vs. Acrylic

The other day I sat down to do two portraits – similar but completely different. The first was done with pen and then watercolour paints, which to be honest, I am still getting used to.

Then it was time to bring out the acrylics. Instantly, I felt at home again, as acrylics are the only paints I’ve used for at least the past 5 years. I ended up with a portrait that I’m quite happy with! So, here are the two finished portraits:



Hope you’re having a good day….xx
