Very nice! The dappled lighting on the tree is lovely, and I like the sketchy quality of your brushstrokes here.

It's great to see new stuff from you! Glad to see that you're still alive and kickin'. :D

Im just messing around lol! acrylics are a pain in the ass just because they dry quickly and they are just not easy to work with IMO

I've got a method where it won't dry that quickly at all on your palette so it makes blending a lot easier, and you don't need to remix your paints all the time. :)

Oh really? Awsome!! Do you think that you can share that with me? I work very slowly with paint and it always dried up on me (one of the reasons why I do not paint...) And even oil paints are a pain in the ass D<

Yeah no prob. You'll want to find a painting pan, they are generally near the palettes. I think they might even call them 'ceramic' but I can't remember. The one I have is white with a blue trim along the rim, and it seems pretty common in most art stores. If you can't find one of those, some sort of tray with raised edges would work too I imagine. You will also want to grab some paper towels and MARKER PAPER (<--- very important). Doesn't really matter what brand.

Dampen the paper towl and place it in the ceramic painting pan and place a piece of marker paper on top. You can also wet the marker paper as well. What it does is absorb the moisture and keep the acrylic paint wet so you can keep it for at least 2 days before it dries.
