Exercising my hands with acrylic colors (and some touches of oil colors)

Hello hivers, an happy Monday to you all!
I hope you spent a nice weekend. ^_^
About me, I spent a part of my weekend exercising my hands paiting with acrylic colors.
You know I use to paint my artworks using oil colors on papers. I use them in a different way than when I use oil on canvas ( on paper I use them with more trementine, as the same way I use the water when I work with watercolors) and I like so much the result, but sometime I feel the need to improve my skills on other tecniques and so here I am.

After some fast sketches on my sketchbook I decided to try to paint one of my characters using acrylic colors, even if I had just few little jar of acrylic colors at home. I added some details using the oil colors, just to see how they can work on acrylic colors. At the end, I thought the final result was not so bad and so I'll buy the colors I prever in the next days.
In the following pics, you can see the final result:

As you can see, the subject wear a dress similar to the one I shared with you yesterday (you can see it here. To be honest, the part of this "experiment" I prefer is the background that I think it's very interesting. I like the effects I had mixing different colors layer by layer.
I painted it on a sheet of 110 gsm paper in A4 size and, like I use to do for you, I took some pics while I was painted it:

I hope you like it!
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia

This is so much different to your other work, yet it feels so much the same as well! I am contradicting myself now. But your work is always amazing, brightening one's day. Thank you so much for sharing!
