Acrylics vs Watercolours: My Artistic Journey

Arts week again – 7th-16th August 2026 – I will be showing some new work in acrylics and watercolour at The Concert Hall, Thomastown, Kilkenny. Themes are – Coumshingaun and Lough Derg on the Shannon, also some coastal and ‘lines of the land’ landscapes. Come along and say hello, I will have some unframed originals in my ‘haggle box’ and some new cards also.

Particularly, I would like your feedback – especially on which medium I should focus on for the coming year.  Acrylic and watercolour share some characteristics but are in reality quite different. I have been painting seriously, for ten years, and hope to go on for many more – which direction though, there are so many options and so many things to try out.
