It is small but that was the point to see how I handled the pressure. The pencil drawing he let me take home and work on because he knew my skill lied in that medium.

I think thats great. Using grey scale can really help when it comes to learning how to shade. Good Job.

Thanks Cassie, but I can't claim that it was my idea to use black and white only. It was the perameters of the assignment. I have done three other paintings in accrylics. One of the star ship Enterprize another of a tigress and her cubs and the other of a horse looking around a barn. This was my first and by far my best. I just never gave the time to the medium.

your acrylic painting of this child is very realistic, yet textured but fascinating!! i loved your portrait and was amazed how black and white can turn out great especially from a black/white photo. i, myself, am a portrait artist mainly but i also do other objects.

I have done a few acrylics in the past and have to admit it is one of my favorite mediums when I paint (which is very rare). I think you did a beautiful job.

I'm not a expirenced artist(not even an artist really) but I think you did that very well for your first attempt at acrylic. Very Nice and Well Done!
