Lessons learned the hard way are the most effective. Take this bad painting for instance. I always envision a finished work of art before I begin making it. Then I use my skill set to bring it to fruition. What I thought this painting would become, went out the window once the acrylic ink informed me that it was in charge. Seeing as my acrylic ink skill set is mediocre, all I could do was take a beating and then humbly post this defeat. But it taught me a lesson. I need to plan out my vision for painting with ink differently then when I do a drawing. Unfortunately I know there are more defeats ahead but hopefully that will mean some victories are on the horizon.
