Getting out of town

Today I ventured downtown to visit with 2 friends from High School. I hate driving in our city because there is just so much traffic and construction. I like to know exactly where it is I am going. So I decided to take the bus, metro and walk. I haven't been to St-Catherine in a long time and when I exited the Metro, I felt very disorientated not know which direction to go. I finally found my way and then found one of my friend's Darlene, who is visiting from Halifax and staying downtown. We both went shopping at |Omer Desserres and had a wonderful time. I of course got some wonderful deals on some paints from Pebeo Vitrail which were almost 1/2 price and bonus is that both of us got a sample box of Liquitex products; one small ink, can of spray paint ( I have never seen such a small can), heavy body and soft body paints. I of course tested them as soon as I got home along with the new product I am testing Tri-Art crackling medium. After our art adventure, we met with another

Pebeo paints still keeping me thrilled

still doing some exploring with the different Pebeo products and not too sure if some of the experiments should be chucked or not. There are really cool effects but I can stop from making everything look psychedelic. This week I went to the art store with my grandson to pick up some playdoh and in the clearance section there was a large box containing 25 prisme paints for half price from $59.00 and I picked them up because I think these are my favorites. Anyhow I got to the cash and the clerk ran them up at $9.00.....sweet. I also bought some of the crystal resin and I am not sure what I am going to use it for but I will have to make sure there is no dogs up stairs while I am doing it and most importantly that my table is level. Pictures of the fun to be posted later These two paintings actually turned out ok and I painted the design with acrylics first and then added the different pebeo paints. this is a close up shot of the relief outline  this is moon and pri
