Water life painting

Trying to use acrylics and oils gives me a challenge.  I never seem to be able to create the results I want with the acrylics.  The flow of the paint and the mixing on canvas is harder for me. 

I have learned that if the painting is not to my liking it can be changed with the flick of a brush.  Just add gesso and cover the area and repaint the surface similar to how a oil paint would be scraped from the canvas.  Do Over is easy and can save paintings you would normally not finish.

This is the acrylic version and the whole picture was covered with gesso and repeated to achieve the picture I really wanted on the canvas
