New Addiction!

So I have been in a very crafty mood, so I went to Hobby Lobby. I went there looking for stuff to bejewel a ton of things but..... I came home with stuff to start painting!

I have always wanted to learn how to paint. I know I painted a lot in school but it was always on 3rd grade level. I want to be able to paint stuff that I would be proud of or even hang in my house!

My dream has always been (when I get rich) to have a room that is all windows so it has ton of light to paint and then at night I can look at the stars. I could be a painter by day and an astronomer by night :)

I found this great thing called "painting by numbers." It really is for beginner painters. It has a ton of numbers on a board and all the colors are numbered so you just paint the color of what number is shown. You even have to blend some colors so you get pretty fancy! (haha)

Mine is the horse one and Jeff's is the other

I will post a picture of Jeff's finished picture later he is being slow :)

Jeff's blending plate

Yes Jeff pick some cute plates for us to use as our blending plate, but they were the only plastic plates we had :(

Last night I got so addicted to it, I was painting at one o'clock in the morning! I just couldn't put the paint brush down! I don't know if this is actually having me learn anything new but I feel awesome about what my painting turned out to look like and I feel good about it and thats all that matters to me. Sure anyone could paint this and it would probably look the same but I don't care I love it and feel very accomplished :)
