I recently decided that I wanted to learn to paint. I finally got around to actually buying materials the other day, and then proceeded to paint Babs, my Basset Hound.
My sister had promised that we had acrylic paint, but I got home and realized that she meant a few tubes of like, pastel colors. So I made a blue to match our kitchen and just kinda ran with it.

(it ended up being slightly off center in RL, but this picture makes it look way worse than it is)
I looked at Babs for a little while before sketching it out, but that's about as much of a reference as I got.
I think I might try to do a few other paintings like this to try and figure out how to use a paintbrush before I buy actual colors and start making "real" paintings.
But yeah. It was fun.
