Which way?

Basically, I never seriously used acrylic before. I always think that acrylics are really hard to use. They dry quickly, not like watercolour (who, oh, that always in my comfort zone) But today, I think I could use my time to study this medium. I have canvas, acrilycs, brushes, craft knive and sponge. Well prepared huh? I bought all of them as one set at Marshall's (when I visit US) I doubt the acrylics quality when I saw the brand, but I try it anyways, the brand doesn't matter when you really want to try something new.

That set has been sitting on my desk for quite a while until I got the bravery to finaly turn my thoughts to actions. I got a grip on my pencil, start to sketch and ended up with street signs. I really like the idea when you want two things to combine although you know that they are two really different things. In this work, is Reality and Fantasy.
Choosing the colour was a little bit hard, because at the first time, I think of colouring this work with watercolour, and now that I got acrylics what colour should I choose? So, I was thinking of something green and blue and just simple mixed colours.

I think this piece ended up nicely. At the end of the day, I still on the watercolour side. But, one painting is not enough to change anyone's mind, well doesn't it?



That's all for now,
