I put the last touches on Julian today, and although as usual I see some imperfections, I am overall very pleased with him. Given that this is my first ever representational acrylic painting, and that it was done on fabric, I think it turned out well (if I do say so myself). I'm definitely going to try this again, both on fabric and an canvas board.
This whole experience has been a great confidence booster for me as I really have very little painting experience and was pretty sure I couldn't do it. I found that having the right brushes makes a big difference. Right doesn't have to be expensive in this case; my brushes were from Hobby Lobby, bought at half off, and did the job just fine. The crucial thing was to have a variety of sizes and shapes.
Now I'm off to go torture some more shoes!!!
