Wow, @cryptopie, this is fantastic! I love seeing you take the plunge into the world of acrylic painting. The excitement is palpable, and your self-awareness about the learning curve is super relatable. Getting started is always the hardest part, so HUGE kudos for taking that step!

I'm really impressed with your thoughtful approach to selecting materials and your resourcefulness in using a laptop stand. And good call on avoiding those potentially harmful fumes. Safety first! I'm already picturing you channeling your inner Bob Ross and creating something uniquely you.

I'm looking forward to following your artistic journey and seeing what you create. You've got this! I've upvoted this post, and will follow so I can see your next post. Thanks for sharing this with us!
