I started a new painting today. BIG MISTAKE.
It was so hot today that the paint would dry mid stroke. Then I would go to get more paint, and that too had dried. Do you understand how much paint I lost today?! Do you?! I would try to go the whole stroke, but I'd end up rubbing off what I had already painted.
I'm a very quick painter. The last painting I did took me an hour and 20 minutes, and that's only because I had to repaint the whole thing when I made a mistake. I'm not used to this slow painting. This is why I've stuck with acrylic! Bah!
Uggg... it's so wrong, but I can't fix it.
It's not going to get any cooler this summer, so I guess this painting is going to take forever.
I was also planning on fixing a painting I did earlier this year, but I guess that's being put on hold.
I freaking hate this!!

Stupid heat! I feel your pain...well, not with the paint thing, because I don't paint, but I understand how hot it is and how lame it is when the heat makes fun things nearly impossible! I am proud to say I have a Stacey Bond original. It's true, I do. When you get famous are you going to go by Stacey bond or just Stacey or maybe just Bond?
Well... I sign everything SB so I guess I will go by Stacey bond. Or maybe I will go by SB. Esbee.
Oh my gosh, don't paint with guache, it dries soooo fast no matter what temperature.
SB is my town, foo, you can't be SB, too.
