        How close do you think you could come if you had any paints other than digital? I’m wondering if it’s possible.

          I’ve been wondering the same thing lately, but I have honestly no idea. I don’t think I’d come anywhere close though, given that I have no experience with traditional oils.

            I have around three weeks of experience, and I’m hooked on painting. I bet you could come a lot closer than you think. I never took an art class. I never thought I could even begin to paint anything that wasn’t just ridiculously stupid looking. Then someone gave me a bunch of paints. I made what I thought would get a few laughs. I posted where people post art that’s terrible. They didn’t think so. They thought it was deep and moving. So, my confidence has been growing ever since. It was a confidence issue.

              That’s awesome and quite inspiring! Lack of space is a bit of an issue for me, but I’ve seen people do amazing paintings on a small scale, so I might look into that.
