(no subject)
I forgot how much I enjoyed acrylic painting. I have far different expectations of it than watercolor or markers. A change of pace is nice, too.
Initially I wanted to do a portrait for practice, because I want to do a painting of my cousins' family. I decided to do a self-portrait because Mandy was doing one and was talking to me about it.
And now it's become more important to me than practice or fun or change of pace (and change is incredibly important to my sanity). With some luck, perhaps this portrait will set me up to be capable of doing the one I've wanted to do for ages.
I painted over an old, crappy acrylic that I never planned to finish. I might post some progress pictures.
For once I can recognize and acknowledge something I really need.
