I just came home from a life drawing session. I was flattered by all the comments and attention my art received. It’s encouraged me to sign up and keep posting work myself. Thanks!

This was painted with ultramarine blue fluid acrylics, but I usually use sumi ink

How did you get the various shades? Or does that paint do that naturally? I'm not a painter, so forgive me if that's a dumb question.

Not a dumb question at all. The variation of shades comes from the amount of water mixed into it. But I can also get some variation from how much I push down on the brush.
