This was an experiment in many aspects. I wanted to paint some more with acrylic, to paint on a slightly different surface (this is on a piece of cardboard from some kind of packaging), to try to paint realism from a photo, and I wanted to try painting with a large brush with quick strokes.
I actually timed myself for this one. It took 3 hours in total and was really fun to do!
Edit: Oh my, the Daily Deviation totally made my day!! Thank you for featuring it, and for your comments and favorites. This is my first time getting featured, and I'm super honored and happy!
