I'm in love...with paint

My love affair with the paintbrush has begun. We tangoed for a while, I experimented with pencils, markers, but refused to pick up a brush.

I had my excuses.

It's too messy. I can't draw. I'm separated, no place for an easel. I can't draw. It's too expensive. blah blah.

Well, thanks to tiny little canvases, tiny little brushes, and a tiny little palette, I CAN paint and it's actually pretty inexpensive. I can hold the canvas in my hand and paint. I can take it outside. I can paint in my room, anywhere. I love it! I am loving acrylics right now. Simple, easy, childish, haha. The boldness of the acrylics are what i'm drawn to. And yes, I can't draw, but am even loving that! There are no wrong answers in art. That's what I tell myself. Constantly.

I don't care. I have spent hours processing and painting. I'm hooked.
