Bold

A 'lazy' weekend called for some painting, as it was my first weekend with no homework or assignments due that week (miracle). Although I umpired a couple games of netball on Saturday morning, and went out for dinner with some friends in the evening, the rest of the weekend was pretty chill. Dreaming about my travelling adventures starting in only 12 days now!

And I managed to fit in a nap too. Catching up on some sleep, thank god!

I felt it was necessary to do some painting with bold, bright colours after working on quite a dark social justice painting for school. Let me tell you I was over the Lamp Black's, Burnt Sienna's and Terracotta's after 5 months on that painting. It was time to inject some colour.

I was painting on pre-primed canvas sheets because the step up to a canvas means actual dedication, and that intimidating amount of pressure knowing if you stuff up its not as easy to just chuck away.

And I'll just take this time now to mention the wine coloured paint from Mont Marte. It isn't just a plain old acrylic, it has a pearl kind of finish. Yes sadly I am obsessing over paint...

Of course solid hours of colour mixing, painting and jamming to music require some kind of snack, right?!  And how fitting that my Blueberry yogurt matched my painting.

In the end I finished with two pieces, both of which I am happy with and will be going towards my Duke of Edinburgh. Bright colours and a chilled weekend have me in a good mood ready for Monday in a few hours.
