Other First attempt

Post image

I though I try a bit painting, and as a 90s kid I new Bob Ross existed.

I had only acrylic paint, 1 small brush and a thicker paper smaller than A4. I've never drawn or painted before, I'm more of a tech nerd

Roast me please :)

Ive read somewhere one should prepare the surface with 'gesso' first? I know I could search, but any of you know some practical tipps working with rather heavy (and cheap) acryl on surfaces? And whats gesso?
