I love this @Muddy CyclistToday's effort is continuing along the theme of Canal bridges, this is a bridge over the Trent Mersey Canal at Great Haywood. A3 in Acrylics mainly done with old credit cards and a palate knife,about 1 hour.

Thank you. I started life as an oil painter and moved to watercolour when I started Plein Air painting, easier outside. I enjoy Acrylics as they are so much easier to handle than oils. I shall stick with my watercolours as I have just spent £35 on three tubes of watercolour paint I use French Artist Colour tubes l'aquarelle sennelier are the manufacturers, they use honey to enrich the pigment. Cheaper than Windsor and Newton and much better paint pigment wise.I love this @Muddy Cyclist
This works very well in acrylics and old credit cards and palette knife. I like this very much. The tree trunks are effective, and also the vegetation, and bridge.
I think this medium and tools suit your style of painting.

I like your painting today, so much detail, Cow Parsley so well illustrated and the detail in your wall, brilliant.Good evening all
4.4 today
it's been lovely mild day here today (when it wasn't showery), a quietish day doing small jobs around the house after all the rattling about last week.
Tomorrow, by request, we're taking mum to visit her bank in a neighbouring town so we may try for a takeaway (who would have thought getting a takeaway would feel like an adventure).
Hope your day is treating you well
@dunelm - very strong bamboo painting, can almost hear the wind whispering through the leaves
@gennepher - your artwork today speaks, it's very strong and structured and with a vivid palette
@lindisfel - lovely view near where you liveand I enjoy your colourful kingfisher, not a bird we get much here in the Highlands though I have seen one occasionally in other places.
@Muddy Cyclist - interesting to see the change usiing acrylic, deeper and perhaps richer but less transparent, still love the foreground fireworks.
I haven't tried acrylics except for one go with some dried up ones someone gave me and I'm still learning watercolour basics, so I feel I can try more colours if I get pans but I'll probably move to tubes when I've got a better idea of my own palette, it makes sense.
I hear good things about Sennelier
My grandfather used to paint in oils, he died when I was a child but I remember the smell so very well.
Arty bit -
perhaps the last resist trial for now, I may try it again in the future and may also try @gennepher 's idea with either white gouache or correction pens or something similar. It's fun to try different things sometimes.

Wow @Muddy Cyclist . An incredible selection of paintings from your mum's uncle Bill in New Zealand.I like your painting today, so much detail, Cow Parsley so well illustrated and the detail in your wall, brilliant.
Thankyou for your kind comments re my painting. I had a relative, brother of my grandad who made a living painting in oils English Scenes he lived in Newzeland. I do like oils and the smell but I seem to get in such a mess with them these days.

An excellent picture Muddy one is taken into the place. I can even hear the cacophony of birds in spring.

Sleepless and restless night, nightmare fuelled so doodled about in my studio. All these Zen pictures got me into Japanese/Chinese Art mode. This is not today's painting just a quick mess about with watercolour paint, just for fun and not completely original stole bits from internet images. Must have ago using my own imagination now I have tried it out, I know some trees on Cannock Chase that may loan themselves to the style.
