okie....I'm gonna start an art project now.

that doesn't sound fun.

I'm drawing a grid....

oh so exciting

yep, then I can start on the 100 thumbnails that go in it.

*snores at the thought of it*

tell me about it. at least my final project will be more what I want to do but infinitely harder to make.

what is it?

and i just froze my teeth with water!

whatever we want it to be. I'm going to focus on teen suicide because it can't just be...draw a tree and be done. I'll have to do about 4 drawings, but I'm thinking I'll do it with ink and realllly big.

that's some cold water.

that kinda cool.

yeah it's from my fridge that apparently likes to be cold

I'm hoping it will be, but I'm still kinda stumped on what medias would be best for the idea in my head. it needs a little color and the black needs to be thick so I might use some acrylic paints too and ink pens for details.

lol.

acryllic paints are always cool.

yeah, but I'm no good with them.

well then it's a learning experience!

*hides in the corner with her charcoal* I dun wanna.....

you need to widen your horizons *drags forcefully out of corner and hands a paintbrush and paints.*

-____- I already have paintbrushes and paints beside....actually on my bed. I've learned I love watercolor and chalks and I've been using acrylic all semester and learned that we don't get along.

it can't be that hard.

its hard to use well. there's kitchen stuff about paint and its just not my thing.

why not? it's not too much different from watercolors, just a bit thicker. I like it so much better than watercolors

O.O its nothing like watercolor!! you have to go about it entirely different!!!!

I always used it over watercolor because it gave you a bolder, brighter color. I hated watercolors. And it was still a water-based paint and that was all my mom cared about whenever I was painting. I don't see it being that hard to use as long as you have a good brush.

neh. the paints I have are heavy body. you can't see through them at all so they're nothing like watercolor. its not that its hard to use. I don't have the kind of style that likes acrylic.

Yes and that's why I didn't like water-color. I hated that you could see the paper through it. But acryllics flowed as easy as water colors but were much more vibrant and thick colors. I love them.

watercolors are realllly vibrant if you use the right colors and you just have to layer it. anyways, I prefer the watery texture and I don't know what's up with my paints, perhaps its that we aren't allowed to dillute them any by adding any water, they're way too thick and don't flow in the least.
