How many paintings are there ?
I did this one at a time when I didn't have any canvas and I didn't know what else to use. I grabbed some white copy paper. I just was not going to get left behind during Acrylic April.

Day 1 #artsherpa. #StepbyStepPainting #AcrylicApril2020
Started the Acrylic April 2020 challenge. Started on 4/6/20 and still have a few to go but my goal is to complete the whole set and I WILL get there!
I found this series late, but I’m having a blast painting through it.
I just started painting a few months ago through paint parties. I've been wanting to find classes to help me learn techniques to paint better. I LOVE THIS! I didn't see the Acrylic April challenge earlier, so I'm starting late. I plan to do the entire 30, even if it takes me a little longer than 30 days. 😁
I really enjoyed this one.
We didn't have enough canvases in the house so I cut up some scrap wood pieces to use instead. Took a little extra time, but we didn't have to leave the house to make it happen so a win for me. I'm pretty thrilled with my glow! I think it could use some improvement but overall I'm into it! Thank you so much for doing all of this Cinnamon! I really really appreciate having your positivity in my life!
Started a little late. Gonna catch up though or at least I am gonna try.
Thank you. Still got to catch a live show.
This was more difficult than it looks. Im so very glad I did it.
Beautiful 👍🏼
