That's lovely!
Hello, Community!
I'm new to the group. I've been drawing and painting all my life but I'm recently retired and have some time on my hands... So, I've plunged back into painting. I started with watercolors, but I was only successful maybe one out of ten attempts. Ugh. Then I dug out my acrylics kit and found myself enjoying the process again. Here's my latest painting- a great blue heron in the early evening (8x10 on canvas panel). I look forward to meeting you all and continuing the journey. Cheers!

@Patrick McSherry Thanks so much, Patrick! The great blue heron is one of my favorites as well.

@Chuck Taylor Thank you, Chuck. Yeah, I thought about moving the heron more to the right, but I already had too much empty space in front of him (or her… I don’t know!). I added the log branch on the left just to fill up some of that empty space. Next time!
Canvas sizes?
Hi! I’ve just joined! I’m at the buying supplies stage. What size canvases are you all generally working on for your paintings to get started with? I’m completely new to oil painting. Done a few weeks of watercolor. Thanks!

I agree with most of the other comments- start small(ish)! I've been painting for a while, but a huge canvas still intimidates me! 😐
