Playing with acrylics

This weekend i have spent just playing with acrylic paint, as a child would really, making marks, dabbing on the page, using blocks of colour to form a picture. I have to say i have really enjoyed my playful weekend, i feel like i have managed to let go a little. My children also took a real interests in what i was doing too and joined in. We did a big abstract together (they are 5 and 4) and they really got involved. I would say their imagination made the painting 100x better than i could do alone. It really opened my eyes to my ridgid way of thinking when it comes to art and colouring within the lines. There is no wrong or right, messy works can look just as good as neat hyper realistic works, if the person whos looking at it appreciates it. Im going to spend a few more weeks just playing and instead of spamming the gallery with un gallery worthy works, I will be using this thread to post my progress. I hope to get some help, feedback and once in a while a little encouragement during my leaning curve. Belows a painting i did today and tomorrow i will post a pic of the painting me and the kids did together as i know you want to see their work too 😂. I may even post a few pics the kids do too as they are learning with me. Jen x
