A group of us try to get together every year for a catch up, a meal etc. We generally do a gift exchange and this year we had to buy something that we love and give that to everyone, with a $10 limit. As a side note, I think only myself and my daughter listened, the others went way over🤨
One lady gave us these painting supplies along with a candle. As you can see she even included how to's on painting Christmas pictures, they are all for beginners.
I have been stressing about this for the past few days. I kept looking at the instructions and I wasn't overly fussed about doing a Christmas painting. So I looked at online and decided on something else; flowers.Here is what I did. Now don't feel you have to comment or tell me it's fine for a first attempt I know it's pretty miserable. I am no painter. Painting is not my thing. I over think it all. Realistically I am a paint by numbers type of gal. Being told where to paint and with what colour. Funnily enough I have even looked at those paint by numbers kit as I think that would be fun. This wasn't fun for me it was stressful.
After looking at it over the day, I decided it looked better this way round?
Our daughter regularly does those online paint nights and does a super job. The girls had a water colour artist come into their school and they both did super. In fact here is Nora's painting and she is only 9!
So I am going to quit while I ahead. I can say I have tried it but it's not for me.
Meanwhile below is the tutorial that inspired my painting.
