I started painting!

I've been wanting to dabble into painting for a while now and never got around to it until last week. Ashwin (thoughtfully) had gotten me a gift certificate for an arts and crafts store for my birthday which I finally used to get myself some acrylics and other painting supplies. So after reading a little bit about techniques etc, I decided there's no better way to learn than to just jump into it. I first want to get some brush strokes right and also learn about mixing colors & creating glazes. Anyhoo, this was my first naive attempt at mixing colors (This hasn't photographed very well - I'll try to take one during the day time and post it again):
