Thank you for your kind words, Joe! I always appreciate that. I'm pretty used to lettering enamel which is all I've used for 28 years (as a sign painter) until recently. The last few paintings though, I've been using some acrylic for the characters and enamel for the lettering. When I'm in a time crunch, I find that acrylic is quicker with easier cleanup, taking less time to dry too.
