Scotty’s making acrylic paintings this summer. He’s learning from his favorite masters, and cutting loose with the paint. I’ll be updating this as Scotty makes more paintings each week.<\/p>\n

First week he started his Cezanne piece, and also went crazy with a nice big canvas. It’s really gratifying to watch his development as he learns the ins and outs of the medium, and lets his creativity flow like paint. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
