Hello all!
Here is my version of the cup. When I printed it out it was 8 x 10 - as it is known at times I am technically challenged!LOL!
Doing this I had it a bit to far to the left and the shadow went off of the side so to make balanced, and give the cup I added a little balance to cheer things up! Also I used blue instead of red.

This is my first attempt at acrylics. It’s nice to have a beginner-beginner class. I bought the paints years ago and they have sat on a shelf. I think I am lucky in that I had purchased Golden Open Acrylics. I must have read that these were good for beginners but I think I’ll stick with these. I need the extra time!

Hello Melissa,
You did a wonderful job, especially for time using acrylics. Acrylics are not the easiest to work with but as you gain experience they are very versatile and fun.

Not sure if I love or hate it! LOL I had a hard time controlling the paint especially with the smaller marks. I also don’t like all the “paper” texture. Wish I had used something with a smoother surface. I used Winsor & Newton Galeria Permanent Rose, Titanium White, and Mars black.
