I have just painted my first ever acrylic on canvas painting, at the grand old age of 24 (ahem).
Itβs rough and blocky and splotchy, but I quite like how it has turned out. The trees still need a bit of work, and I think Iβll need to paint out the stars as they do nothing whatsoever for the picture. And the paint hasnβt yet dried, as is usually the case when I βfinishβ a painting β I need to capture the moment there and then! I also need to have a rethink about my signature as wellβ¦ but it fits with this painting as it too is chunky, blocky and the rest.
Itβs only a small square canvas, not quite as large (or rectangular) as a sheet of A4 paper, but just the right size to start with. A while ago, I bought quite a few canvases (canvi?) some of which are, at the moment, quite daunting in size, but one day I shall go for it.
Now though, Iβm keeping things manageable.
But, itβs a start, and everything starts somewhere.
