I’ll be your mess, you be mine

Gayle Forman, Where She Went

I bought those little plastic paint containers at Dick Blick. They remind me of when I did paint by numbers in oils when I was a kid, except they’re a little bigger. I don’t suggest putting oils in them, tho. I read that oils and plastic don’t mix. These are full of acrylic paint.

Here’s a great tip for artists: You can’t really see well in this photo, but to the left of the bucket is a jar of petroleum jelly. If you use a generous amount of it on the inside rim of your paint jars and/or tube covers, the covers won’t stick. 

I moved kitty onto my studio door. She kept falling off the wall, and breaking her legs. 🙁 I like her better here, anyway.

I agree with everything he says,
“Sketch, sketch, sketch. Draw, draw, draw.”
even though I’d much rather paint.
