Work is progressing on the paint by number

I’ve got all the background pretty much done, other and a few spots I need to touch up. And I’ve started on filling in some little details. Happily, in the much smaller areas, it’s easier to get the colour on evenly with one coat. But some of the lighter colours will still need two coats, just to cover up the number/lines.
Sadly, one of the paint colours was completely dried up, and a second was close to it. I’ve managed to work with the latter by adding a little bit of water. But for the completely dry one, I’ll just have to mix up something close from my own set of paints. It’s a good thing I’ve got the knowledge for that!
In other disappointing news, I can’t find my easel anywhere. I have a sneaking suspicion I got rid of it before we moved. So.. it means I’m stuck working on the dining room table. It’s not a big issue, it just means I have to keep the sessions a little shorter so my back doesn’t get too sore.
You are inventive, and we cannot wait to see the finished project.

Thankfully you have paints and the knowledge to make your own. It’s going to be really pretty.

Looking good, so far. I bet you can come up with an alternative to an easel – use that creative brain you possess.

It’s coming along! The Mister finds that his paints are dried up from time to time also. He’s trying to stretch out a printed canvas right now that came a bit too wrinkled to use. I’ve tried ironing them but that never works. Now he’s got some heavy things sitting on it.
