Adv Acrylics Classwork

So I've been taking a class in Advanced Acrylics. I've never really done still life, or even impressionist type work before, so I'm rather pleased with my results so far. I still have a lot to learn in regards to techniques. I think my year off of college, and doing my own  acrylic painting studies as well as visiting Seattle Art Museum (SAM) and studying master paintings, have prepared me for applying what I have observed. Anyways, here's what I got so far.

 Week 1: Still life using only colors and techniques of the Renaissance.
Acrylics on wood.

 Week 2: Impressionist type painting study, where we could use whatever colors we wanted.
Acrylics on Bristol board. 
 So I used black light acrylics for this piece.

Week 3: Paint a scene from somewhere in Seattle. This is the Puget Sound.

Ghost and Fett UV Painting Progress

Still a work in progress. But when I was mixing florescent and glow acrylics together for the the Pacman Ghost named Inky (the cyan one), I made way too much, and had to quickly find a way to salvage the mix because neon/UV active and glow acrylics are really expensive. Wasting it would break my heart... so I quickly found line art of Boba Fett, traced and transfered it to a new canvas, and began boxing in the highlights. I have many layers to go on this. Far from done.
