OK, this time I was messing around with a technique I learned from Lucie Brouillard- she sponges her color on and then adds dots and line work. I like how she tear drops over her green in white (which takes on the green color) before lining in black. I need some more practice but it was very fast and felt very free flow which I liked. I usually do flowers and leaves with flat brushes or a chisel, so this was fun. The paint I used was all Paradise.
I am what some would call a tackle tart. I have tried sooooo many products which is great at learning what works best. My craziness comes when I feel that I need to bring it all to parties- because you never know when you might need that one color. :)
I am learning to downsize and splurged on 2 cases of 30 colors for Paradise and DFX. I always thought the color sizes would be too small for my liking, but I am finding otherwise.
Happy Tuesday!

We had another round of snowball fights again today. Got my hubby in the face. I was proud.
It's snowing like mad here in NJ, 3-5 inches. Then we are supposed to get freezing rain this afternoon and then i think 8-10 inches tonight. I can't believe the kids had school today. It cracks me up, normally when it snows, everyone has a tizzy and runs to the grocery store just in case the snow gets so high they cannot open their door I guess. When I lived in Boston, it snowed all the time and everything went on pretty much as normal. I guess the principal is thinking like a true Bostonian this am and crackin' the whip. :)
They are so down to earth, funny and eager to show you everything they know. There is no ego. I have not yet painted this at a party but I think the little girls will love it.
