Looks like every single day there are of too many other things you do, too much that leaves you with no time to dedicate to your real passion.
"If You Don’t Use It, You’ll Lose It!"
How very true!!!
I did not know how to use paintbrushes any more. I did not know how to apply paint, how to mix it, how to do anything!
How bizarre and how so very frustrating!
After several days of making a mess on my new canvases, I've decided to let go of using brushes for a while and give it a try with palette knives for the very first time in my life.
It was a very good decision as my painting attempt was coming to life finally!!!
Made lots of mistakes, screwed up roses but because of thick paint layers decided to leave it as it is. After all, it's my first painting in so many years and first time using palette knives.
I am self-taught and it is time to start all over again!
Here are some photos and a gif I made of the whole process.
You may notice I used canvas I messed up before than painted it white all over and reused it for this occasion.
All comments and suggestions are very welcome.
Thank you for your time!
Have a beautiful weekend! ☺

I can feel your frustration! Can totally relate lol. Indeed, long breaks can affect skills.. thus continuous practice is required to keep on improving. But don't worry you'll be back fully in no time.
The painting turned out great, by the way. :D

Such a great painting skills you have in there. Using the palette knife to do an amazing piece like this is so awesome. The portray of realism is no fun again since everyone is into it but when you go by different skills like you have in there. It makes you unique
I really love how you depicted the flower and your choice of colour was on point. Good work and keep the painting spirit up always

It's interesting to see the painting from close, not many artists are posting close-up photos with details, so thank you for that. I love roses and your painting is just lovely, I love the light and luminosity of the painting. Well done!

To initiate something after many years it takes lot of internal push. I can relate to this as I started my skech work again after many years.
I took a while too just to understand how I should start and with what!
You did a good work. It's a matter of time and practice and you'll be running on your way.

This is really good! I've never tried acrylics, my gf loves acrylics I am more comfortable using watercolors.

6 years is a very long time :) I'm glad to hear that you got back to painting. We should do what we love.. It's a lovely painting and you've done a great job with the palette knife. It looks like you have a lot of experience :)
I like the flower. Red color is my favorite and it looks amazing in combination with red. I also like your gif.
Thank you for sharing and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your artwork :)
