New to painting? So was I, until...
Like you I've doodled all my life but then I've gone beyond too. I've attempted to draw use pencil, color using crayons and water colors. Face painting for kids has been a great way to master strokes and patterns. I'll be honest here, I've even considered becoming a face painitng artist for kids' birthday parties considering how mediocre work dodne by some people has been, but let's leave that for another conversation.
I graduated from these behind the doors type efforts to acrylics not too long ago. It was through attending a sip and paint class when my family was out somewhere. The work product from that one session was just mind-blowing for me. It got me a lot of good attention from guests and visitors. My older one adopted the painting and moved it into her room to give it some room to breathe after all that downpour of attention. <3 my big baby!
So the journey contnued with trying a few more acrylic on canvasa paintings, particularly with my kids. If there's one thing you need to know, it's this: Kids are the best critics and judges of your work. They appreciate you no matter what and they're usuallyt happy with the outcome so long as you didnt get them mad during the creation process. Simply.. da best!
Here are a couple of our paintings created together.
After working with acrylics, I gave oil-pastels a try. Once agin, with my kids. I’ll share those pics in a future post.
Despite all these I've never considered myself an artist. Well, atleast not until this one. It’s a mural. I’ll tell you all about that too in a future post.
