So yesterday in class I was going to bring in my painting stuff, but alas, I ran out of the house (again) and forgot my stuff. Sad.
But I did indeed do something productive in class!
I watched even MORE videos and saw that I apparently purchased really expensive acrylic paints (Folk Art - $1.79 a pop!). They're teeny little bottles, and since I intend on painting on larger canvases (facility), I needed to buy the larger tubes that came with the flip up lids that I hate. Ew.
Guess that's something I'll have to work around.
Also, I need larger brushes :)
The ones I got are perfect for detailing and smaller canvases... I won't be using small canvases.
YouTube's also shown me that I shouldn't be afraid of blending. It's key. I was slightly appalled by the artists mixing yellow and fuchsia or blue and red, but the important part is the end result. Never judge something by its cover. The end results were always beautiful.
Videos that spurred my imagination:

Next week, I'll have started my first full painting. It won't be on a huge canvas because I have supplies for a medium-to-small canvas, but it will finally happen people! Anticipating the outcome already!
