With the New Year, I've started a new crafting skill... Painting!!!
To be honest, I've never been very skilled at drawing and, well, I'm not very patient when I start something new; I like to see acceptable results fast! With this being said, this holiday's period, while waiting in CDG airport for a connecting flight, I discovered a promising magazine called "Mon Atelier Creatif" (what I got is the French edition but I think the original is a German edition which I don't speak - too bad!) with step by step explanations on how to paint a few different designs using acrylics. The designs were nice and the techniques looked easy enough so I got the magazine and decided to give it a try.
A couple of weeks later and, after a visit to a couple of Art's stores, these are my first two paintings in acrylic (both of them following models from the French magazine):
This blog is to explore my creative side specially through jewelry making (which is my latest hobby) but it can also be painting, knitting... I'll include pictures of my designs and brief explanations on how to create them. It's also a bit of a test for me; depending on the results and critics/comments, I might decide to go a bit more commercial with this hobby :)
