Hello,

I've been a silent admirer of all the talent showcased on this website.  Over the summer (after having heart surgery), I took up painting.  Well, I fell in love with sketching, colored pencils, soft pastels, watercolors, and acrylics!  I read everything I could, went to tons of websites, and checked out how-to shows on television. 

The advice I really need is on acrylics.  My love/hate relationship is simple:  the finished product looks so rich, yet when I paint, I find that I have no fine tuning abilities.  I can paint details with watercolors but not with acrylics.  I use Galeria in the tubes and have even watered them down hoping that might work.  What type of paper do most use? 

Any advice would be most helpful.  Thank you.
