Welcome to my chosen medium, acrylic paint. As I previously discussed I have left my yarn behind (for the time being) to explore a new passion of mine which is painting.
I have chosen acrylic because I like how versatile it can be, how quickly it can dry and how easy it is to clean up. I have decided to start my journey by watching tutorials on YouTube.
The following is some of my work to date.
I have done a sunset landscape by following a tutorial courtesy of Katie Jobling Art. She has very good instructional and inspirational videos.
This peony is another tutorial from Katie Jobling. I love YouTube tutorials because you can pause, rewind and skip ahead. It really helped me find my flow.
I built up my confindence and tried one all on my own.
These poppies, painted on a 5 by 7 inch board, are an original creation.
I am planning on continuing with acrylic to expand my skills. I look forward to experimenting with mixing different mediums with the paint and playing with texture.
Until next time, take care!
