The first painting I feel actually proud of for more years than I can count.  Amazing what a bit of application and and a bit of guidance can do.

UPDATE 18 Mar 2007: I see a lot of people searching for information about acrylic glazing technique :)  Here’s  a link to the lesson I followed off the WetCanvas forum.

 The steps are embedded within a loooonnng thread of discussion which is old and closed now - but keep trawling through the pages - all the steps are there. 

I learnt a lot just from this one lesson - I never painted a picture like this one before that lesson!  Have fun.
