Another Apple


I bought some acrylic paint, some brushes, canvas and other tools in an attempt to try out 'real' painting. I've dabbled with watercolor as a kid but always loved to rock the pencil. It's so simple elegant and easy, why change from graphite. Yet when I think of real art I think of my oil paintings on canvas of a real life subject, so in keeping with the theme of me wanting to be a real artist, I'd try out acrylics. This is the second thing Ive ever painted with oils. Below is a cherry I did last night, it turned out weird because somehow the red I  bought was oil and not acrylic so it mixed funky.

Well here is:

This is the first attempt painting anything not watercolor, and Ive never painted with water color.
