Hi, new here, first post.

Hi everyone -

I was turned on to this site by my friend Mario -

Anyway, to date the vast amount of my "painting" has been done digitally, usually goofing around.

Recently, I've done a few studies digitally with the intent of creating "actual" ;) paintings - I have just bought my first set of acrylics, and based on some input from Mario, will most likely also be buying a starter oil set too.

Anyway, attached is a quick study of a semiabstract winter scene which I'd like to execute at about 4'x4', roughly - any thoughts appreciated regarding anything from layout to media recommendations!

Note: I'm considering doing this in acrylic with gloss medium to add shininess but not thickness.

Thanks!

Andrew

You can etch what I know about either abstract art or acrylics on your thumbnail and have room left over, but I'm not going to let that stop me from welcoming you to WetCanvas!

Go for it! I think you will find a lot of fun with this.
