Imma be an artist!!

I am sooo excited!! Why...?? Well...it started on a lazy Sunday afternoon, watching TV enjoying the weekend off from work, when I came across a local program of a talented artist teaching how to paint an Australian scenery. I was totally gobsmacked by his painting techniques and how easy he made it looked. So right there and then, I made a promise to myself (early new year resolution?!) that I will learn to draw.
That night I stumbled onto ebay and searched 'paint by numbers' paintings. Now, these are not the kiddy paint by numbers kit that I once did as a kid. These were 'paint by numbers for advanced painters, thats right...for adults! Although I've never been a talented painted (cannot draw to save my life!) I've always wanted to draw. So what better way to start by knowing what you're painting and making the painting come to life. These will start my career...one day.
The purchase from ebay. How pretty is this??!!!



Now all I have to do is wait for my delivery (sighhhhhh). I will post the painting up on this blog when I have done painting them in

My painting finally arrived on Wednesday! This is what the painting looks like:

So many numbers

Paint pots


I have 'coloured' in the top left corner of the painting already and that alone took me a whole day! I will post the completed picture up once it is done. But that would probably be after my exams and hospital visits.




Stay tuned
