Thanks everyone who chimed into my first help request.
I picked up a set of winsor newton acrylic paint and a paint pen. That was definitely the right advice.
The red could go straight onto the board, but all the other colors needed to be backed by white.
Does anyone have good tips on mixing skin colors for paints? Right now all of these on the board were solid colors ,
My mom loves painting flowers, I love painting people. This is kind of an homage to her. The flowers aren't nearly as good as what she paints.

My first attempt at a serious charcoal drawing. I'd tried my hand at the medium on and off before, then put it aside for a while, but always experimented with basic forms. I'm happy with this attempt; it was especially relaxing π. Perhaps someone knows of a good, beginner-friendly book for self-study. I'm not a professional artist, which means I'm looking for something accessible yet sophisticated π .
I spent so much time painting individual blades of grass and leaves. I normally don't do that, I try to fake it. But the reference image was very much about all the foliage and the shack was just the anchor. Thoughts?

Acrylic and charcoal on paper.
Intentionally unflattering self-portrait. I was channeling Egon Schiele.

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
