Welcome to my painting adventures...

Welcome to MY Painting Adventures.
I've been seeing more and more paint bars and paint nights recently that have caught my attention, offering a stress free night out with friends, while completing a painting project. While they interest me, its not really in my budget, and a lot of places didn't fit my schedule.

Over the years I have painted drawn canvas images, wall murals/characters, and projector images, but I have never just sat down to paint a random unplanned image for the first time, completely free hand with the paint brush.

I decided since I had a ton of paint and brushes, that I would search the internet for some tutorials.
Low and behold, I found a bunch, that I couldn't wait to try! So off to the craft store I went.

Canvases were about 4-5 dollars for a two pack, for the basic white artist canvas. I opted for the mulitpack for $20 that brings 10.
Basic acrylic bottle paint was also on sale 3 for 1 dollar, so I grabbed a few colors I was running low on.
Brushes, foam brushes were 20/$1, and a pack of 25 basic mixed artist brushes was $5. Total shopping purchase was around $30 and I have enough materials for 10 paintings.

Im very excited to start this new "adventure". Not only because it was 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.

I do ALOT of crafting. Bow making, crochet, sewing, embroidery, beading, clay, NONE of which my close family and friends are ever interested in...they don't have my creative juices. However, since mentioning this painting stuff, TONS of them want to get together for painting days! Even my husband has agreed to try! Fingers crossed we have finally found something we can all get together and do for fun with little cost and no travel.

I can't wait to jump right in and try some out, and maybe one day share my own tutorials with others.

I hope you enjoy viewing our finished products, and thank you for reading.
