Pretty disappointed with this, it took ages I was stupid to think I could handle doing it.

Quite pleased how this came out & I'm sure I kept it under an hour this time!

Although I got into Imaginism Workshop I sadly can't afford to go & it has been getting me down. All I can do is try to do what they do on my own I guess.  So I asked Thierry if he could send me an image of a box they paint so here's my try at it.

I'm not as pleased with this as I was with the last but this was more to practice texture which I find pretty hard at the mo.

I feel better about this one, i added more atmosphere & I'm getting better at texture.

Happy new year guys & gals.  I'm trying to get into a routine this year, getting up earlier & trying to paint each day.
Today's result is just 2 quick small paints (they did take me a while tho as i need to practice more!)
