Using Acrylic Paints

Sunday, December 30th, 2007

 is harder than it looks. 

 

We don’t paint much around here, as in making works of art.  At least, I wish we painted more. 

This afternoon we went shopping for acrylic paints to paint our doll house accessories.  (Yes, I know I was supposed to have done this last weekend.)  Anyway, I began adding up the prices of individual containers of acrylics plus a set of brushes and I realized I could spend a little more and get a beginner’s acrylic paint set with brushes, paint, palette, instruction book, carrying case and everything.

We are not done with the accessories, but we did try our hand at making a work of art with acrylic paints!  This is my daughter’s painting.


I love the tree.

And… promise not to laugh.  This is my very first time painting with acrylics, after all.  Here is my painting.

I think I need to stick to more abstract things.  ~:-D

Anyway, I really enjoyed this.  I want to paint more. 

Some of the doll house accessories need another coat and more touching up.  I promise we will finish them and show then off when we are done!
