Friend or Foe

Generally, whenever I would use acrylics, I would water them down and use them like watercolors (watercolors with a faster drying time, that is.) But with this piece I decided to use them a little more like they were intended. I'm not laying on thick layers of paint or anything, but I am taking advantage of the medium's opacity by building from a dark base up to the lighter highlights. It's not what I usually do, but I like the results.
