Sooooooooooooooooo :)

Here it is, my first attempt at an Art journal page AND painting with acrylics, now I'm not ever going to be your next Michaelangelo, lol dont think I've spelt that right, they make it look so easy on You Tube...tons of video tutorials later this is what I've just finished, least I think It's finished ? So as I'm trying to find my feet so to speak just getting the techniques down this page is inspired by a few artists...I love the way Kelly Rae draws her faces and I seem to be leaning towards that style :)



'Is it all just a dream' is really me saying 'Am I wasting my time here ?'
Who know's and maybe who care's...I'm having fun :)
