Acrylic on watercolor paper.  This was my first attempt to us acrylics on paper.  It was a student assignment focusing on color.  C&C welcome.

Helen,

Have not tried it. Looks like it worked well for you.

Thanks to both of you!!!

Acr;ics on paper is more interesting because paper absorbs so much more liquid.

Helen, this is nice. Did you think about angling the jetty in toward the interior of the painting and maybe darkening the water on the left hand side. Seems to me like both of those things might help to keep the eye from traveling out of the left side of the painting. Your tree branch already kind of leads that way. I like the different shades of green and the atmospheric perspective.
