Down at Manly Cove
This one began life as a little sketch I did while sitting on the steps in the sun, at Manly Cove.
It’s 2nd life was when the colour was applied and it became a greeting card and print.
Third time lucky was the large line & watercolour sketch I did recently. But it’s luck ran out. I wasn’t happy with something about it.
Forth life is above. Thick acrylic on watercolour paper and then free line sketch over it. Now I’ll give it a break. Now it’s working nicely. Lucky you Manly Cove, or you’d be quaking in your matt, wondering what else I would do to you. Maybe it’s forth time lucky.

I’m loving seeing your adventures with acrylics! I’ve always maintained that’s just how they should be used! If one wants ‘subtle’ then water colours are the way to go but, by their very nature, unlike any other medium, these synthetic paints almost demand to used in this vibrant, full-on colourful way – and all your fabulous, joyful works are testament to that! Keep ‘em coming, Erin!! You’re brightening up our world no end! Thank you! Yvonne xx

I love the crispness and the intensity of the colors…makes me feel as if I’m right there enjoying it.

Thank you so much. I must admit I’m pouring the colour on. Really like the strength when done.
