Learning to Paint: Horrible and Funny
I spent some time painting with my wife today. She has been teaching me to paint with acrylics which has been both frustrating and fun.
I look forward to sharing with everyone what we've been working on. We have been doing a project where I draw something and she paints it, the she draws something and I paint it.
Some of the results are pretty funny! I plan to do a full post about the project, but for now, you just get the teaser image. LOL!
The above painting was a drawing that I made and then Amanda painted it. I love this guy. He reminds me of some sort of weird Jim Henson character.

Love it! the character looks like a Youtuber I like :D
"Jim Henson character" - Rick, I know a guy who looks almost like that, his name is Mark Henson 😜
You are pretty good at drawing, and of course your wife is a superb painter, so the colab works out OK. Now here is a possible project: find a five year old to collaborate with back and forth: I did this ages ago with my son - I had him draw a portrait of me, and I painted the eyes into it, and vice-versa.
Hehe, well since I draw like a 5 year old, it's kind of like we are already doing that. We were thinking about going back and forth several times like you are saying. But I don't want to paint on her work!
Rick, forget painting for a moment. There is a cool drawing game we "deviantArt" artists are playing, called exquisite corpse. You draw on part of a page and cover it up, with only a strip showing, and the next one continues drawing. You can do that several times on one page.
It is a old game, the Surrealists did it often:

I haven't had time to do much of it lately, but for a while we used to send these back and forth worldwide.
Exquisite corpse
Exquisite corpse, also known as exquisite cadaver (from the original French term cadavre exquis), is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule (e.g. "The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun." as in "The green duck sweetly sang the dreadful dirge.") or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed.
Nice drawing. This looks like a monster.
I believe in the saying - "two heads are better than one."
Try painting Amanda with "wet on wet" technique made famous by Bob Ross Sir @nuthman :D
If I will be able I will try to paint too. :P
nice count of 15k along with good images. Great work done with actifit. thanks.
