A Wall.

I suppose most folk would look at that title and think “ how boring, its just a wall “ . Well, to an extant it is, but it represents something new for me. You see I have always painted with enamels. I ( like a lot of modellers I expect) started off with Airfix kits and we painted them with little tins of enamel. Since it was what we knew we just kept doing it.
But I looked at forums and I kept seeing rather good models painted with acrylics. In the back of my mind was a feeling that I really should have a go at that. So, over christmas I happened to wander past a local art shop who were doing a special offer, 48 tubes of acrylic and a pack of decent brushes for £22. You have to start somewhere. I refrained from buying an easel, a smock and a beret.
Anyway, this bit of wall is my first go at painting things with acrylic. Might not be the best bit of wall painting, but it was real fun doing it. I like squeezing a selection of colours out and playing about mixing them up. Far easier to remove when you get it wrong than enamels too. All rather visceral, lots of putting paint on and smudging it with cotton buds.
There we are, its not really a blog about a wall, its a blog about me learning something new. 
There is quite a lot of it. 
And heres the caley top brass turning up to inspect it all………
Cheers.
