I started painting with acrylics in 2009. It actually took me some time to appreciate the different mediums available, but then I started experimenting and now I would not go back to oils.
The sea has been my favourite model to beginn with and it will always hold a special place in my heart, but lately I have been moving on to other subjects and other colours and methodes.
I love photography as well, but I better leave this to others and just appreciate their work, drawing some inspiration from it. And dA is most certainly providing more inspiration as I will ever be able to transform.
