This is the first time I’ve actually painted anything using actual paint brushes since early middle school.
Bought a couple of supplies and just went for it.
Image on the left I wanted to do this thing I’ve recently found called “Bokeh art” but it looks more like weird bananas haha.
Image on the right is just “mountain”.
The act of painting itself was frustrating but meditative. The paint, the brush, and the canvas did not interact in ways I had expected. I had watched some tutorials on acrylic painting prior, but not during the actual paint sesh.
Yeah! It’s fast enough that you should have some intention behind what you’re doing, you can’t explore for 20min.
I actually enjoy water based spraypaints a bit more because you can keep it from drying by working more detail and layers in. Then using tools makes for really interesting effects
Welp I intentionally chose such smol squares so I guess even tho I was exploring a bit on the left there I was still in luck not to have the whole thing dry out.
Definitely looking forward to my next paint sesh, but I gotta watch a couple more tutorials first.
