Painting Supplies
.
Oh, boy! How to Paint a Girl starts today. I received the supply list and here are a few things I’ve never used and am excited to try:
Heavy Body Acrylics
I’ve painted with acrylics before, but never with these thicker acrylics.
PITT Artist Pens
Juliette recommends these because she finds they don’t bleed.
India Ink
I’ve had a little experience with India Ink, when I did calligraphy and when I took my first watercolor class. I wonder how we’ll use it in this class?
There are several other items on the supply list that I’m not familiar with, but I’ll wait to find out a little more about what to buy before I pick them up. This will be fun.
I’m participating in The World We Found Readalong sponsored by S. Krishna’s Books. Check out the “Comments” for the Readalong participants’ thoughts. Here’s the Readalong schedule:

Isn’t there something so exciting about playing with new paint and art supplies? I always feel like a kid when I open that stuff up and try to decide what to play with first!
Me, too! They make so many neat things. At least I know I’ll never be bored.
