tried to paint a mug.

found a super nice mug for like 50 cents at a thrift store. Limei bought the same one so that she can paint on it to. We’re gonna exchange them when we’re done (cause we do corny bff stuff like that..)

I tried to be super prepared and sketched out a few design ideas first. I chose the bottom-right one.

here’s a close up:

Thought the design was all nice-and-dandy and would be a piece of cake to paint. But no. It was like really hard. My hand was all shaky and the paint clumped and my paint brushes just really, really sucked.

Not at all how I pictured it would come out! I wish I could just wash off all the paint and start over. ):

Whatever just drink out of it and store it someplace high up. It looks nice from far away…

Painting traditionally is hard! Invest in good brushes! It makes such a big difference ):
