It’s called Lime Slices - Acrylics. Here is my finished project. I struggle with Acrylic Paints, my least favorite media, but I think it turned out okay. Sure hope others give it a try and post their results. Terri Robichon ---

I am going to try but will use gauche. I don’t have any acrylics and certainly don’t want to buy any more supplies! Yours turned out great! ---

I think you painting is wonderful . I love to paint with acrylics and pastels . Oils paints and oil pastels are a little challenging for me [quote=“Meme5, post:1, topic:3151, full:true”] Hello, Finally got the courage to draw my 20 year old daughter who has Down Syndrome. I used 9x12 gray toned paper with black and white charcoal. Attached are the progress pictures. She did not like the first two backgrounds I was doing first so I made it all black lol Any suggestions are appreciated! ![IMG_3340](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/5/59f311e6d237709278a62a93d39b0a6a1a0a0dab.jpeg) ![IMG_3335](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/0/0893787ef6baddf06d94b8497745ca7455a7593f.jpeg) ![IMG_3331](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/6/6f21629219713153c48cc1839ae527af3f19829d.jpeg) ![IMG_3332](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/5/5532b14a4ce0d402365878b14dc0e3a8099c185b.jpeg) ![71054631662__F62B5937-6E51-43D5-A176-B070009DBD79](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/9/90898c573cf02a1a5ec4ba88b2245a6fbc8d990a.jpeg) [/quote] ---

Hello Terri, I like your interpretation of the painting. I just finished the cupcake, and this is the next project I want to work on. When I first began dabbling in the idea of artwork I started with colored pencils, graphite and acrylics when I had no idea what I was doing back in 2013. I use open acrylics because the dry slower, so it is a bit like using oil paints. I will post my interpretation of the limes when I get them done. ---

I’ve hated Acrylics since art school. Unless they’ve changed I find it almost impossible to mix colors. You would practically have every color to get the effect of making shadows. Since I hate them so much someone would have to really convince to try again. lilnora ---
