Welcome to MY Painting Adventures, I'm very excited to start this new "adventure". Not only because it will open me up to a new world of painting, while having cute wall decorations and relieving stress, but more so for the quality time with family and friends.

Swirly tree & love birds with my siblings,

Yesterday, I painted with my siblings.
(I also stopped and grabbed 4 $10 easels from acmoore, which were $6 each after the 40% of coupon)
From a list of tutorials, my autistic 16 year old brother, chose this swirly tree.
We sat together and painted while watching the laptop at the dining room table, not peaking at eachothers work until we were completed with our colors/before our tree, and when we were finished. I love how different they are.
Brushes: 1 inch, 1 inch sponge, #4round #4flat, #000, #2. Colors used:white red orange yellow blue green purple black.

A few things we did differently:
1. I made 5 birds on my tree, since we are a family of 5.
2. I added a clear glitter acrylic to my entire dried back ground prior to doing my tree.
3. We all decided we liked the idea of purple after the blue, so we added purple.
Here are the pictures of our progress and finished product...
