Thank you very much, Leslie. I appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.
Why acrylics? Because at the moment I am short on money and acrylics are cheap. Am waiting for Santa to bring me some (money for) oils. So that is really the only reason. I want to get into oils but it is an investment when you're used to pastels: paints, brushes, canvas/board, solvent etc. Still trying to figure out if I want Alkyds Oils or 'normal' oils (but the drying time.....aach....am too impatient maybe...pastels are so nice and fast)
Thanks again. I am glad you like my character guy, who is, btw, my father-in-law.
