Description For art class! Acrylic paint. I was pretty happy with the textured bits but it's less cool when you can't feel it.

Eeee this is pretty Some very nice placement I think, it's like, all BALANCED AND STUFF.
How do you do the textures, anyway? This is me being unable to paint for the life of me ~__~

Thank you very much! Haha I hope the teacher agrees with you, it's supposed to be asymmetrically balanced and I never know what I'm doing ;__;

The textures were actually pretty easy really! One layer of paint -> let it dry (or attack it with the blowdryer like I did haha) -> another thick layer of paint and swirl the brush around/poke it with your finger/do whatever. The second layer isn't actually NECESSARY I think but I had a little of the background show through without it.

Well, we can still look at the textures, and they do look pretty amazing. This reminds me once when in our class we had to do something similar but our teacher got mad at us for touching them since "true art pieces aren't meant to be touched" XD then why do we have to give them textures if we can't touch them?
I love the distribution of the shapes, it makes the picture feel dynamic.

Oh wow, thank you so much! Man, that seems kind of silly to me. I can understand if they're trying to keep the painting from being damaged, but "true art pieces aren't meant to be touched"? That's just silly...

Ahhh, thank you again! You're too nice!
