This is my second painting ever. My first was the April 1st abstract. But you have made me fall in love with painting. I was using some old Walmart acrylic paint that I found from before my kids grew up and that’s all I had to use, but now I’m going to invest in some better material and dive deeper into your courses I’m really looking forward to it. You’re a great teacher.
Couldn’t get her to look like she had her head slightly turned to the side. Not one of my favorites but it was interesting to do.
