I never thought I’d ever try Acrylic paints or use brushes. I was content with my pastels until I was sent a set of brushes and acrylic paints. Reluctant I gave them a try, just to please my supplier. My first works were so unpromising BUT I liked the strokes and effect the brushes were creating so I practiced and practiced AND still practicing. I don’t think I’ve perfected, not even nearly, their use but I’ve grown to like them. There’s a horde of art mediums out there for anyone interested and willing to try them, to use. Don’t limit yourself to just one. Experiment, be adventurous. Have fun being artistic, after all, it’s your work, it’s personal. There’s no right or wrong way to do it, it’s art. Find the one that suits you best BUT it doesn’t hurt to try others at the same time. Although pastels are still my favorite, I’ve a few collections of acrylic ones and prefer them for cards.
