Well, not perfect. First try at painting an urban scene with acrylics. This whole teaching myself a new skill thing is pretty awesome, even as the perfectionist in me wishes my ability matched my taste. I painted from a photograph I took in Cambridge. I painted from a black and white photo, to try to force myself to consider value first, and hue/saturation second. It's easier with some kind of hierarchy to think about, I've found. Here's to having an even better grasp on the next one!
