About 3 months ago I bought acrylic paint and linen because I am 24 and I kind of always wanted to paint but never got around to do it. My last drawing with pen/paper more than 10 years behind me I just began doing what I do best, random chaotic things. Not knowing any styles ( to paint, not of paintings) I just did whatever I thought of doing.

To be clear this is not for you to tell me how bad my paintings are, this is more of a "its never too late to start" kind of thing.
If you want to do it, just fucking do it. I bought the cheapest paint and what you are about to see cannot be worth more than 2 €.

Sadly I give away all my paintings and forgot to make fotos of "#fail 1" (from the fantastic fail series) and "#fail 3" (which was painted over "#fail 2") but I made a foto of my 3rd real painting which I also gave away last saturday .. damn birthdays.

Lets get it over with. I always paint 2-3 things until I finish (because I am still learning) so this is the last stage of the

ALPHA VERSION

and the finished painting

Sorry for the bad lighting, it was still wet and reflected way too much .. its too late now

Completely coincidental, painting is also what I would recommend to SixStrings
Thanks for reading

Looks damn good for somebody who has just begun painting. Looks like some kind of space nebula, maybe you could look up some pictures and try to paint that? Anyways keep at it this doesnt look bad at all

I tried painting pictures/plants/animals etc but I just noticed that I did not have the skill for any of that and I was just disgusted with what I painted so I left that behind me for future use. And thank you !!

I prefer the first one, it leaves more to the imagination. The second one looks like a bed of coals seen from a top-down view.

Ah yes I thought that I fucked up the first painting by using a knife in the pre-alpha painting (the parallel lines you can see on the left side) so I decided to paint over it . I did like the middle part though . And the first draft was actually made to be looked at through a light source at night, there is paint on the back of it as well but that did not look as I wanted it to look.

edit: Well, off to work. Good day to all of you
