I have not tried painting with acrylics until very recently, I have painted a little on ceramic art I’ve made but only because I’m comfortable the ceramics will carry the decoration.
this one a small bowl, I have some pieces up to 3 feet tall.

a little over 2 years ago I moved to a new home and still have not replaced my ceramic studio, so decided to give acrylic painting a try… it’s a lot cleaner too, lol.
my first try a photo off google was before my move, I had a small box of craft acrylics that someone gave me a few years back, half had dried out in the little squeeze bottles.

I tried one more time before my move another photo off google, this time I bought some paint and a few brushes.

Around 6 months ago I thought I’d try this again after buying a used easel rummaging a local goodwill and more paint. This is a view from the desert to the south of Las Vegas looking north.

My second landscape was from a photo one morning in Gold Basin, Arizona still trying to figure out what I’m doing.

And my current attempt, this was from a picture I’d taken of Haskell creek in Sierra County, Ca one afternoon around 8 years ago.

I have done a lot of experimenting and repainting, I guess I’m not sure really what I’m doing just looking for something that feels right? On this try I did a lot more just laying on dabs of paint instead of blending, something I saw on one of the videos I’d watched and actually it could have been one of Mark’s videos I still need to better understand the color values… well and everything else too.

Keep up the good work.

Keep painting!
Your foregrounds specifically are exquisite. You'll like Mark's course.

The clouds are great. You have captured the plane of the cloudbase. Your brush strokes are very confident as well. I can't stop looking at them.
