Acrylic Paint Process

I am fairly new to acrylic paint and the process of painting can feel very discouraging. Don't feel discouraged! Be patient and experiment. Also use search engines like Google to look up solutions.

Spring Time

I can't wait till the weather gets warmer. New York has been so cold! Here is my Spring tribute on cardboard. I love light blue hair like cotton candy. I need a wig because I have no interest in dying it. And now that I said that, watch, I may dye it. Spring by Amber D'Amato

I like to think I made it my own.  Drawing on found Cardboard by Amber D'Amato Romel de la Torre
