I was inspired to do art again by the great Akiane Kramarik. The child prodigy who painted her vision of Jesus at the age of 8. Her most famous painting known as, “The Prince of Peace”.
Since I had to acrylic or oil paints, or water color paper to start painting. I decided to work with what I’ve got. And I remembered my sister stocking the oil crayons at the back of the book shelf. Browsed for a Youtube video. And started trying it out.
No particular shape or form. Just trying it out. And I had fun with it!
I used BlackBean’s tutorial on the eyes for reference. Then tried to add his techniques as I colored the nose. I realized, I had no good foundation on blending colors. Plus no knowledge on geometric shapes, anatomy, etc. But! I’m not going to delve onto those bits for awhile. And I don’t know if I ever will.
Goal #1: Enjoy the process

Here I go again, trying out something new but never really mastering it. I did a blog post about my frustrations about wanting to do many things. The jack of all trades, but master of none…
best try them all rather than sticking to one!
