I took up acrylic painting in 2015 when I bought a paint by numbers kit to do with my children. Until then, I considered myself to be a very uncreative person (I work full-time as a very serious lawyer). I did a sketch a day consistently for 100+ days a little while back and only stopped when my work started to take me too long to do in just one day. My work improved dramatically because of all the practice I got. Now I've started to sell my art and am slowly transitioning to professional artist.
