The Beginning
And so it begins.
This was probably my first real attempt at painting (besides watercolor when I was little). I did this the fall of 2005 as an assignment to paint a monochromatic animal in acrylics. I used a photo I took that spring. About 11.5"x9.75" is shown with the mat framing it. Painted on the back of mat board.
Second attempt at acrylics. Monochomatic tarsier monkey. Painted on the back of mat board, framed with a mat, about 17"x11".
First oil painting. This is a mandarin duck on canvas paper. I did this June 2006. My first impression of oils were that they were easier to use than acrylics (though I only used acrylics twice) but took forever to dry.
This was my first attempt with water miscible oils. (Sorry about the glare.) I was going to finish the eyes but never got around to it.
