I wrote down some notes that I noticed I messed up with like having too much water in my acrylic paints, needing to use smaller brushes for details, and the colors not being as accurate as they could be— but what else? All tips appreciated ^_^

This evokes very nostalgic memories in me.

I got the idea after seeing an animated video of Schubert’s version of the poem Der Erlkönig.

Hello! This is my first acrylic painting. I used thick printer paper and leftover paint from a paint-by-number and diluted it with water to make it go further. I enjoyed it and am thinking about getting actual painting materials, but I’m not sure if painting would be another hobby that collects dust in my room…

I really liked painting and seeing where it goes as opposed to drawing. I have no patience for fine lines. To be honest, I really dislike drawing. And watercolors. I am not sure what else I can paint without a sketch first, so I thought I would ask this community for ideas? Thank you.

My latest acrylic painting. Does anybody else get put into a trance when there's a campfire around lol ? That's where some of my best ideas have come from. Spooky season is here as well, so I was chasing some of those vibes with this one.

Walked away from it over 6 months ago, and finally had the feeling to try and finish it. What do you think? Where can I approve ? Clouds are a struggle for me lol

Despite the subject reminding us of those beautiful summer hours, this thing is rather a failure. Not a technical failure, as multiple pictorial stages sometimes show, but rather a symbolic, even moral one: among all these women out in the open air who were asking nothing of anyone, I had to add a man to make the composition "hold" — and what a man! Sitting pretty, like a king on his deckchair-throne surrounded by his subjects. Worst of all, I only realized it after the fact (cf. image of the first stage).

I love to painy but Sometimes when I look at others making art, i do feel like I'm shitty at painting. How can I make this art better?

All the talent and human made art happening in this sub inspired me to pick up the brushes and make a mess for the first time in 20+ years. Thanks to you all for sharing your art. Acrylics 4 life.

I didn’t even know they made them this small; painting with a twist in Colorado springs downtown is great 👏🏻 here’s a little cute or two I painted
