Thank you, Groundcontrol. Yes, the glazing technique that I learned in that one week summer art camp while in high school was more valuable (and less expensive) than a year of art school! I love acrylic. I may do a post in this in the future saying why. But it is very versatile and dries so fast--so it's great when you have a commissioned portrait that you have to finish, proof, and ship all in the same day!
