Tried something new (painting)
« on: August 04, 2015, 08:41:49 PM »
 
 
 

Decided to try my hand at doing some painting. This is my first one. I used some plastic sheet board so that I can clear coat it and hang it in the bonsai garden on the bamboo fence behind my bonsai trees. First time I have painted a picture, rather enjoyed it. I think I may continue with painting more as time permits.

Finished up the painting tonight that I started last week. This is only the 2nd canvas painting I have tried since picking up painting a few weeks ago so still trying to teach myself by learning something new from each one I work on.
