Will Acrylic take over my Watercolor?

After offering just watercolor paintings for seven months. I have decided to offer Acrylic paintings as well.
Using the wet on wet technique with the watercolor transfers over nicely to using acrylic on canvas.
I know that many people prefer the look of acrylic over the watercolor. So, I now have several sizes
of canvas on hand and more tubes of acrylic than I can count.

I still am loving the bulldog portraits. Many of my commissions come from Canada, but I've sold paintings  all over the world.  My FB page is reaching almost 5,000 people. I don't sell in galleries or do art shows since I am  working a full time job. So, all of my marketing efforts are on line. This works well for me, keeping my expenses down, so I can offer quality paintings at a more reasonable price point.

I've added Fine Art America to my offerings for my prints and photography as well.
I also continue to make Zazzle products. Many of my clients like matching mugs to go along with the pet portrait purchase.

As the holiday's gift giving heats up, I am looking forward to painting more pet portraits with acrylic, watercolor and my glass enamel paint. The porcelain ornaments are a wonderful surface to paint on.
