Description
I got this canvas, a desktop easel, brushes and acrylic paints for christmas. It was my first time using acrylics properly, and my first painting on canvas.This is the painting of my photo 'Stumpy Kitten' . Sadly Stumpy went missing last year and we haven't seen her since (but that's what you get with ferral farm cats), so this is the most up to date photo I have of her.
I really enjoyed doing this. It was fun trying something different, if a little frustrating in places (I had to learn to mix colours properly - something I've never really been good at). I was amazed at how it turned out, too, since I expected it to look terrible
If you're interested in seeing the process of painting this, I've uploaded some photos into my scraps: [link]

Oooh you did a truly terrific job on the fur here! Especially considering this is your first acrylic painting! 0_o You don't even want to know what my first acrylic painting looked like XD
Suddenly I feel the need to go and work on my acrylic realism...
