I just started a few months ago. I used to do more watercolor...but I sort of suck at that, so I've taken up acrylics. I messed around with oils, and they're beautiful but sort of a pain. I might take them out again sometime, though. I mostly use canvas and canvas board, but I've heard interesting things about painting on wood panels and glass, so I might wanna try that sometime.
Anyone else here paint? What kinds of materials do you like to use?

Aw, it might just take a little practice. I never thought I'd be one to paint, I'm more of a pencil drawing kinda gal, but I figured I should try to broaden my horizons a little, and it worked out a lot better than I expected. If you want to start, I'd definitely suggest acrylics, it's easy to fix any mess ups and is easy to get a lot of different effects. And they're what I used to paint my jacket, so they're good for that too   This was my first one. My teacher told us to paint flowers, but I wanted to do a bug.  And anyone who can guess what movie this is from gets like...super brownie points. So, everyone! Paint! Share! Love! |

whoa, tina. mad, mad skills! amazing! i'm not nearly as skillful, but i have been known to dabble. this is some stuff i did last year.  no real inspiration. just got bored.   this was something i made for a lady i fancied. it's all meaningful and nostalgic and stuff.   and this was the other side. again, no real inspiration. i was just really into drawing severed heads at the time and i really, really like giraffes. ha! |

Wow, eatyrspleens, those are great! So interesting, and you have a great sense of color (never my strong point).
I really wanna hug your sad bumblebees.

I paint. Not as much as I'd like to, but it works. I'm all about acrylics, water colors if I'm feeling it.    Need to get back into it over the summer. |
