So, I know this self is walking between the fragile borders of sharing happy news and bragging, but I have sold my very first painting today.
Watercolor on a 10 x 10 cm canvas which I bought this afternoon.
After finishing the painting of yet another sakura tree (the goal was to try the wet on wet teqnique, hence something I knew I could do, but only used it on the sky.) My little cousins saw the finished piece and asked me to give it to them, then started fighting, offered me money, and started bidding over each other until one of them couldn't hold the pace anymore.
So now I am one painting poorer, and 50 norwegian kr richer.
