    Keith,

    When mine occurred it was black brown color. I still think there is a drop or two on the wall that I missed when trying to clean up........

    Todd, I've spotted some on a side cabinet and first on the list at Telford is a replacement cutting mat! Fortunately I keep my WIP figures under glass domes on my painting desk so nothing was damaged....that wouldn't have been funny!

    Alan, It's a new weathering technique I'm working on!

    Stick a little boat in the middle and you have a lovely little water effect diorama (y):D

    Easy solution to that one Keith, buy it in tubes, plenty of blues to choose from and it dries as F.A.F.(y)

    You all do realise that this is just a cover. The truth being is that acrylics especially blue, hate Keith.

    Bluer than the Infanta's eyes or the stone of Galveston and for free.You should be thanking Andrea for this unique treat!Acrylics are full of surprises and that is one more reason why I love them.

    Thank you all for your suggestions and helpful comments..........:rolleyes:

    What the picture didn't show was my expensive Rohan Fleece covered in blue splatters, my arms, hands and trousers.

    I've decided to wear it all to the White Rose Christmas bash, stand on the exhibition table and see if I win a prize......LOL

    Not exactly a disaster Keith.

    A bit of water will clean that up nicely.
