Rose Island lighthouse

Hi this is a study in acrylics I'm trying to figure out how the medium works I did this in the august acrylic chalange from a photo by Pat aka ''bluemoonstar'' I tryied to avoid to much details and work in a more impressionistic way thought it can fit the forum
Acrylics on watercolor paper 300 gr 43 cm x 27 cm.

Super acrylic. I enjoy the wash approach to this.
Nice and loose.
