  • It’s hot here in Australia. Making progress on something watery. Maybe I’ll go jump in the ocean later…

  • Finished up this paint by numbers. There’s something about this design that I really like, the colours all contrast yet blend together so nicely. Like last time I also sealed it to protect the paint from dust and fading.

  • Been working on another paint by numbers intermittently over the last few weeks. It’s interesting seeing the perspective and shapes develop as each section gets blocked in.

  • Completed paint by numbers of ‘happy’ Venice. Most people don’t varnish these, but I decided to put on a thick coat of JoSonja’s gloss varnish, which I think has generally evened the painting out plus given the canvas some extra stiffness.

  • Some more progress on the paint by numbers. I’m finding it is really incredibly fiddly and times consuming to do, needing many breaks in-between sections for both drying time as well as preventing neck/hand cramps/eye strain. I’m glad I bought a few more on the sales last year, but I don’t think this is something…

  • Progress on one of my paint by numbers kits I bought recently. Wanted to enjoy part of the school holidays and start of 2020 doing something completely mindless, that I can do in an anal-retentive mindful kind of way.

  • Woooo! My tiger diamond painting arrived. I’m a little intimidated by the amount of beads though….
