Hard to photograph because the black acrylic I’m using is very thick and glossy. It feels like clay. The gold has a really off smell to it, and the red, well. It’s not my red. But the change surprised me in a good way. But I still want red.

Made this at strands beach during the sunset. I screwed up towards the end (the mouth area) because I could barely see and I grabbed the wrong color brush pen.

Three posts about painting* in a row. I like.

*is it painting if you’re using brush pens? I say yes, but its so easy that I feel like I’m cheating.

You may blend them.

So I guess I was 13 when I made this, and I called it Flowers are Dull. Let’s just say I was a bit “Different” at that age.

Here’s what I had planned it to look like:

I like the adjustments I made better than the original.
