Nice Kiwi! I hope you do get back into it.
I didn't even know I had an ounce of talent until I was 26 and decided to paint a mural for my daughter's room.

I def plan to. In the new house (we'll be moving in in Nov) we'll have a room just for Knyte and I, so I should have the room to get stuff out and the ability to close it away from little hands when needed. I plan on painting some new pieces for our new house when I can.

On that note, has anyone painted with acrylics? I like the look but have yet to use them at all. I'm just looking for any tips on ways to work with them.

There was a quote here, but the the person who SAID the quote and pretty much ASKED for it to be placed in my sig asked for it to be removed.

That's all I use when I paint.
When I'm going for quality I use Winsor and Newton. It's a thicker acrylic and you can get the same results as oils without the fuss. If you want it thinner, just water it down a bit.
The cheap $1 acrylics work well for bigger projects, especially murals.

Very good to know thanks. I love the looks of oils, but they are just too messy and not fun for me to paint with, hence the reason I thought I'd try acrylics. I don't have any problem spending a little more on my art supplies, I understand the importance of quality.
