I've been on eBay for a long time, but just recently noticed the communities here. However, I'm new to painting, and it's something I never thought I'd try. I'm also into music, writing, photography and filmmaking. So I've just added painting to the list. And believe me, I did research online quite a bit before I started to paint anything. I've found eBay to be the most informative source - to see what kinds of things other people are painting. And I've found all instructional how-to-paint sites to be completely and utterly wrong. *lol* Anyway, I've got my first couple of paintings up on here. Hopefully I won't get flamed or anything, I'd just like people to have a look.
UPDATE
One painting sold! =) I'll post more as I get a couple more done. Until then, the first place to find my completed works is on my personal web site (poorworld.net) in the Dark Art gallery. Although it's not dark or gothic, I'm painting portraits of my cats which can be found on my site too.
