This year, I'd really like to learn (among other things) how to paint with acrylics. I'm somewhat competent with gouache, but acrylics have always eluded/frustrated me - that and gouache is so damned expensive, especially if you want the archival stuff, and I just can't really afford to buy it anymore.
(In addition, making traditional art again now seems more important than ever, what with the rise of the monstrosity that is AI - but I won't get into that whole discussion right now, as I don't have much to say that hasn't already been said)
Anyway, here's a little 4 x 6 self portrait I painted on the last day of 2023 - more to come soon!
