Description Acrylic on canvas. The first real Acrylic work I've ever done. Wanted to create a warm atmosphere by having the sky a bright yellow with orange clouds. Spent the most time trying to get the water reflection in the water just right. also really made a huge effort to make realistic water ripples with circular brush strokes back and forth. Spent the most time though with creating a sense of depth with the rock needle in the foreground and fading the colors on the once behind it. Out of the whole painting the tree's on the rock needles is my personal favorite.
