I am a dabbler and have just started messing around with painting, so I was pretty happy with how it turned out. Am experimenting with acrylics and building textural bases. Must upgrade my camera to show the super cool texture created with molding paste, lots of random household bits, knives and sandpaper. Here's what I learned through this creative process:
1. Under no circumstances should you use a drinking glass to rinse your brushes unless you want a refreshing sip of paint water. Yes, I did this twice. I'm a slow learner.
2. Do NOT sand anything in the house. Sanding is a garage or outdoor activity only. After 30 minutes of aggressive sanding I glanced up to discover the entire room was covered in fine dust including the dog. No amount of vacuuming is going to remedy this. Clearly I must move.
3. My creative process is for me and me alone. There is no judgment, no goal, no standards to meet. It simply is. A refreshing break from life.
And, that's all I have to say about that.
