Description
First attempt at painting with Acrylics, not too sure that I like working with Acrylic paint, I feel that it dries too quickly, and is not really good at blending or smooth coverage. I want to do a series of Narrow Boat paintings, and I thought it would make a change and a challenge to paint in different mediums, so the next will be oils, and then watercolour. I really want to find out which medium gives the best results, and which fits better with my style of doing things.
I've always loved the Narrow Boat style of life, taking life at a much more sedate and calm pace, meandering through the canals of Britain, you see the country in a completely different way. Lovely way of life !

It's a great piece of art, that becomes even more interesting by knowing it was the first attempt with Acrylics. Is not easy starting with a new platform of art and getting such a nice result.
The main aspect in this scenery that draws my attention is the water and it's reflection. As for me water is a tricky part, because you need to combine the environmental elements into it's composition. And here I see it beautifully done, the reflection of the boat, perhaps, reveals that the river waters were calm before the boat's passage. The house and the trees on the background just make this painting more special. Good work!
