Elderly Man

Acrylic panting of an elderly man

Well the gouache worked out so well I decided to try acrylics. Turns out actual paint is pretty tricky! Plus you spend as much time mixing colours as you do making brush strokes. I ruined and rescued this more than once, but I’m happy with the result and learned some good lessons learned, which is the whole point.
