Fuck i havnt posted in ages. Well for the past 4 months "might be more i lose track of time nowadays" i have been painting with acrylics. Since i discovered i can do and actually produce works that people want its all i seem to be doing. I mean i have been into art all my life and have tried alot of mediums ranging from charcoal, inks, airbrushing, colored pencils.. well u get the picture. But i have never tried painting with acrylics, yeah ive thought about oils but i cant stand the smell of paint thinner and dont really like working wet on wet all the time, and ive also thought about encaustic painting " if u dont know what this is look it up its fucking awesome" but its way to expensive for the materials and tools. So i always wanted to do acrylics but... i was always scared to even try. why? i have no clue. So needless to say i bought a cheap pack of basic colors and actually produced something worth looking at. Well since i found out i can actually do this i figured i would actually put a goal in front of myself using my artistic talents, this is something i have never done with my art, seems all my life i never took my art seriously. But things have changed I have a mentor now who is helping me with my goals. And now i am actively showing and selling my works, which i thought would never happen. But my mentor likes to push me, usually suggesting i belt out 2-3 paintings a week. Hes not making me do it to produce more works to sell but i think so i get out of certain mindsets on what i am doing. And i wont lie it seems to work, ive gotten out of the habit of planning out everything down to the last detail. I still write down my ideas of what i want to do along with what colors and style but i usually dont scetch them out anymore. And the ones i dont really nit pick on are the ones that seem to sell, go figure. But anyways thats pretty much what ive been doing of late just my day job and then locking myself in my studio with Tool playing and the smell of canvas and acrylic in the air.
