Finally the drying time is over

Yipee.... I am the world's worst at being patient while paint is drying.  I use my heat gun, I layer over wet wet wet WET paint, when I know I shouldn't :)  I touch my work just to check and leave finger prints in it.... you get the picture *wink*

So finally all that thick beautiful paint is dry (well as near as I am going to let it) and it's ready to keep going.

 

I *was* adding a brilliant red paint.... and it wasn't meant to smoosh and smear... but like I said, I don't do waiting very well :)  So smoosh and smear it did.  It is also harder to control the smooshing together with a palette knife, the sharp edges just like to drag paint.  So then i decided to go with it, and use my fingers to achieve the look I wanted.

 

 

This time I tried so very hard to wait till it was mostly dry (note the mostly).  No painting, in my humble opinion, should be without a nice dollop of warm white.  Why??  because it makes me happy.  this particular tube was running out, so I just shock and squeezed the silly thing and ended up with random blobs.

 

then I chose a slightly different palette knife, and dragged it gently from top of the canvas to the bottom.

and then, there was a whole heap more time to waste while it all dried.

Can't wait to show you the rest tomorrow!!!
