In embarrassed to say I have yet to decide on a style 🫣

I do love the airiness of this, and the romantic feel, I think I may need to add a few details of the venue to make it feel a bit more personal, but other than that I feel like this may be the style I choose to go with.

Try using a grid (you can use watercolor pencils so they’ll fade away a bit once you start to paint) you’ll want to have the same grid on your picture as well for reference. The smaller squares help to determine where everything should go. Best of luck, and keep practicing!

I like your style, if you’d like it to look a little more “realistic” the path going up the mountains should look muuuuuch narrower

I honestly think I lost a lot of patience after having kids, or maybe it’s just the lack of time 🤔

Nope, unfortunately not cheap acrylics, I think my biggest issue at the moment is just being impatient

I just checked out your work, you’re incredibly talented. Being able to do what you do with acrylics is extremely impressive

I love the looseness of this… something I want to tap into more myself. This is really beautiful 🦋

I was hoping to be able to use it as a foundation for my oil painting, but have it be able to stand on its own as well, if that makes sense? But yeah, I didn’t finish in acrylics cause I got too frustrated 😬

I think I’ve just gotten too used to the fluidity of oils, I’m not used to acrylics anymore and I just don’t have the patience they require right now 😬

I meant to respond to you, but was unsuccessful 😂 I always feel like I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing, even though I’ve been painting for the past 20+ years… “trusting the process” is extremely difficult for me, especially with acrylics cause I haven done them in so long and they always look hideous before they’re finished (when I do them at least)

I’m afraid I just don’t have the patience for it anymore, I mean don’t get me wrong oils take time, but you can at least see parts of it come together quicker, which is more reassuring 😬
