Painting Again

My hunger to learn and experiment has no end! Maybe I should stick to the things I know and do well and stop wandering around, as Alex told me. But it's no use! I can't help it! I always want to try myself in different things. Maybe I haven't found my "thing" yet, or maybe I don't have ONLY ONE "thing".

My first love has been painting, but I gave it up too soon. I've made some efforts from time to time but nothing too serious. I've never stop sketching and drawing of course, also as a part of my other profession, a part-time art teacher for elementary school. But I was thinking "Anyone can impress a seven-year-old with their drawing skills", so I didn't give me much credit.

Now that will has come back to stay, I think. Lately, I've been watching many videos-tutorials on YouTube about mixed media techniques, collage and stuff and I'M HOOKED! Looks simple and easy and in fact, these aren't things that I haven't already tried in some way. The only thing I lack is the proper supplies, but a visit to the shops will be all that I need.

My latest painting was this one, in which I've tried to make some layers with scraps of paper but since I had only acrylic paints and not the fancy water color pencils and crayons that I've seen in many tutorials the result isn't so transparent. I'm working on it though.

What Do You Think?

Seems that a new adventure has begun! PAINTING!

Let's see how I'll make it with this one too...
