 More fun with the palette knife and acrylics. Wish I were on that beach now...

Continuing with the maritime theme and the palette knife technique...

I quite like the freedom that comes with this technique. Though, I keep remembering a question from someone I know: "When are you going to move from watercolor to a more advanced media, like acrylic or oil?" It is baffling and quite sad that instead of learning about a subject, some people would rather put it in a rigid frame of simple rules, and keep quoting with authority stale beliefs from dusty books of centuries past. 

I'll play with acrylics as it gives me pleasure and do watercolors, when I miss the challenge. Each of them teaches me something.
