Self Portrait - Mon, 24 Jan, 2011 – K9 Unit

Over the holiday season, I managed to procure a painting kit as a gift. I decided to open it up this weekend and give the stuff a try.

My first painting didn't come out so great (it's linked from my Twitter feed if you want to find it), but after trying again with a new drawing, I feel a bit better. It's not perfect, and looks sloppier than my digital works, but this one's a decent starting point.

Acrylic on paper, which started to curl once the paint began to dry near the corners. Since the last time I worked in this medium was grade school, it took a bit to get used to, and I still need to work around some problems.
