A New Medium

Just a couple weeks ago, I bought my first acrylic paint. A dark blue. A name brand. I've never really used acrylic paint before, so today when I tried it out, it was weird feeling. I kept wanting to go back to my water, to thin it out, to make the color fade. Acrylics (from my one time using them) seem to have a bolder color. Pure color. There is less fade like watercolors and without mixing it with other colors, it stays the same tone.


I had fun experimenting with it today. I think picking up a tube of white will help me learn how acrylics work a little better. Then I sat marveling at how cool my own finger was. The detail is crazy. And to think, no one has the same fingerprint as me...
