They look quite festive! I think I am getting a bit better with the colour.
And this one was done a couple of weeks ago, when I was still in the first stages of experimentation:

I have been trying out some different acrylic mediums - flow release, acrylic extender, etc. - but so far the plain old standard gloss medium seems to do everything just fine. Perhaps the other things have subtly different properties that aren't yet apparent to me... well I am just starting out here so there's room to learn!
One thing I have happily discovered is the acrylic varnishes, they really finish a painting up nicely.

pretttyyy :)
I had asked what medium but then I read all the way down. I love acrylics...I havent dabbled in oil yet. The series that you are doing is very lovely. Like I said before so vibrant, your choice of colors compliment each other so well.
thanks Cina & Chanice!
I haven't used acrylic paint in maybe 8 years, so it's definitely a re-learning process... sometimes you just gotta step away from what you've been doing and try something different.
