Beach treasures and Rainbow Tree acryl paint

Rainy backdrop, my first attempt with acrylic oil, on paper 14,8x21 cm white, grain.
After almost three weeks I finally got the paint and pencils, but no panels. They were not in store. And the delay of the colors was due to our post office. They are not reliable nowadays. :( 

I painted this on the paper and it was a good way to learn how paint and pencils work. But I did not dare to sign them. Tried to "write" with the pencil with no luck. But, it is possible to paint, but not write, with a toothpick. :)

I took a photo of the backdrop. It does not really look like the video I studied but I liked the way the white curves contrasted to the more or less grey surface. So I kept one image that way. Will probably do some more work with black and white only. I would have liked if the paper had been more square. The tree should have come up higher.



Linking up with the following memes. My thanks to the hosts:
