Acrylic Painting on canvas

In 4th grade I learned how to mix colors and blend with paint. By 5th grade I was pretty good at it. In art class we had to paint animals and I used the Impressionistic style of strokes my art teacher taught me. I found out I was really good at it. From that point I did many acrylic paintings that my art teacher displayed at many art shows at my school, my district, and around the state. My honors art team got a chance to illustrate a book with our animal paintings. I was asked to paint an entire spread. Then she let me start working larger and I got to explore closeup and detailed subjects. I really enjoy painting flowers. Now that I am in 6th grade, people are asking me to make paintings for them. This particular piece was painted for my auntie. She is hanging it in her living room. Now her friends are requesting more of my paintings. Acrylic painting is my favorite!
