Joanne Woolley 24 Oct 2006

Hi Renata, this eagle is stunning! You should definitely paint more birds, this is amazing! How did you get such a wonderfully blended background, did you use something with your acrylics, because I find it quite difficult to blend like that with just acrylic paint? There are lots of media you can add to the paint, but choosing the right one is tricky!Any advice would be greatly appreciated, JOanne:)
