I have delved into the Youtube depths and found Acrylic April 2020 - a month of lovely paintings to do. I will branch out from the Art Sherpa eventually but right now I do like following along blob by painful blob. I am trying not to buy all the paints but it's hard because they are so pretty! Shocking no-one but me, expensive paints are generally much nicer than cheap paints, especially in the yellows and reds. It is quite frustrating when they are too transparent.
Anyway we started off with a limited palette sunset landscape to get the feel for backgrounds and foregrounds and highlights. Nice.
Then we did a bug! I love this bug. I don't know if it is an actual bug or a mythical bug but it looks like a giant ladybird and I will go with that. Happy shiny bug.
And this is a phoenix growing out of a candle flame, so we can learn how to paint fire. This was not a lesson that sunk in very well, I don't know if it looks a lot like flames. At least I know this was not meant to be from life.
As usual, I'm impressed! But I can't quite understand how you have time to a) work b) wash the kitchen floor...
