Who Says Grass and Trees Have To Be Green?



Leftover paint ~ Not enough to save and too much to just throw away.

Remember that fish drawing I did? I'm painting something similar on canvas board with acrylic paints. I mixed a small amount of orange acrylic paint for one of the fish I'm painting and I guess it wasn't small enough. So I used it to paint a picture in my journal. What do you do with leftover paint?

So bright and cheerful. It is like one of those drawings psychologists have people draw and then they analyze what it means..... I think it is a happy wee painting:)

I use it to paint background pages in my journal. I like this little drawing though, might have to try that too! Sometimes if my journal is not available I will grab scrap papers or even book pages that have been torn out and paint on them. Oh, and scraps of fabric too. Love dry paint on fabric for embellishments.
