Late last year I did my first painting. I was visiting my friend and stayed up most of the night painting. It really intrigued me and mesmerized me in a way I hadn't thought.
It made me want to paint more as it wasn't completely bad - considering it was my first time painting an actual figure.

In January I bought a lot more paint and did a new painting of a little gold fish. It's still not all completed but I decided to post it anyway, so you can see the beginning of my painting adventure :)
I am not sure if I will finish it anytime soon but it did enjoy learning while painting this. It's very very different from the way you draw and it took some time for me to make it work.
It's a little hard to tell on this photograph but the cold shimmers in real life and give a more round feeling.

I am painting with acrylic and I only invested in some cheap paint that had premixed colours to start out easy :)


The canvas is 40x40cm (16x16")

I have another much bigger drawing in mind, when I dare to. With our new drawing table it might be easier to work with since it's hard to have a huge canvas at the couch.
