Learning to paint #2

~ MKW Publishing ~ Leave a comment

I am thoroughly enjoying painting now and kind of wish I had found it years ago, feeling as if I have missed 20 years of something great. But I am making up for it with all evenings and weekends now taken up with painting. There is a lot more to it than I realised.

I keep switching between finding tutorials on YouTube and trying to use my own imagination. Above is imagination and below is tutorial.

At first I also switched between watercolours one weekend and acrylics the next (below). Liking both, but have settled on watercolours for now.

Learning to paint #1

Last month I decided to start learning how to paint. I had a pack of partially used watercolours that my grandma gave me years ago so started there. Quickly switching to acrylic the following week and back again. After 25 years of drawing geometric black and white pictures, I am thoroughly enjoying using colour. Checked out a few tutorials and found a picture to copy. Starting with nature and seeing it where it takes me.
