Basic colour mixing with Acrylics
I have no hesitation including acrylics in with watercolour, when the most prestigious and oldest watercolour society in the world the "Royal Watercolour Society" has recognized the acrylic medium as a watercolour medium for many years both on it's own and with watercolour in mixed media.
I painted with acrylics when my family could no longer stand the smell of of turps, plus I was becoming concerned about the toxicity, that is still present in the turps even when it is odourless.
So I switched to acrylic which I used for about ten years before my transition to watercolour.
The main point to remember is acrylics dry a shade darker and watercolour dries lighter.
so you must adjust your mix accordingly.
The most noticeable area to look for the soft edges is the shadow side of the onions and to a lesser extent the left of the wicker bottle.
There are four very sharp edges can you spot them.
