Acrylic painting

My friend Donna May-Brunet is an amazing artist and also one of Michaels fine art instructors.
I signed up for one of her classes and I learned a lot of technique. 
Not sure what made me start with the hardest one.  Water right after faces! So difficult.  
Here my result.  While painting I had the incredible sky from Dana Point in front of my inner eye. Friends own a beach house there and I spend many evenings there admiring the sunsets. 
If you want to learn acrylic painting I just can highly recommend Donnas classes. 
The class was 2 hours. I wasn't able to finish it in that time.  Maybe you can learn and practice techniques and then you have to learn and finish at home? I was lucky Donna did overtime for me. I think this took me approx 5 hours.
