OK, no prizes for guessing where I got my inspiration from. Tried out something that I have been thinking about for a couple of days. I have some gesso with pumice that I was using to prime my watercolour paper to use pastels on so I thought "why not use it to texture my acrylics". So here it is........
Acrylic on watercolour paper.
I used alot of techniques, one of which was dry brushing, and alot of it, I was so happy with the results I got from it.
I hope you guys like it too..........

PS-scan doesnt do it justice Im affraid.......(not that I am boasting but I am very very happy with this one)

This is the best that I could do with detail brush work.

As always a big thanks KarenU, and thank you too artchic for your kind words, I am really enjoying these acrylics but my first love are those great sticks of pastel, will have to get back to them, I hear them calling...............
