I felt like painting something completed different so decided to paint this daisy. Rather pleased with how it turned out.

And for something different, I decided to paint a flower. Quite a few layers/glazes went into this one to get the depth to the petals.

Originally I had a yellow /green mottled background for this one and decided that I didn't like it so I ended up painting over the background with white. It made the background rather interesting as some of the original background colour shows through which I rather like.

The other pastel paper that I discovered that I could use with acrylics was the Pastelmat paper as it has a water resistant surface.
I decided to try it out with this lovely flower. It bit different to the Colourfix Suede paper but I also like the way the paint goes on - seems to go on smoother.

I decided to paint a flower for a change. Originally I was going to have the flower against the white of the paper but after I had finished painting it, I decide it need a background colour. So decided do then wash so that had more watercolour effect. Really pleased with how it turned out. I used quite a few glazes to get the depth to the petals.

I love the different colour petals of this one. I used quite a few glazes to get the depth and definition to the petals.
