Picture of Paint Like You Know What You’re Doing
We broke out the acrylics like pros. Except nobody remembered to shake the paint or check if the brushes were clean, so the first few birds looked like they survived a paint fight. But we rallied. The kids insisted blue was for girls, orange was for boys, and I didn’t have the energy to unpack that gender politics right now. I just nodded and kept painting. Two coats are best unless you want your bird to look like it has mange. Also, don’t touch wet paint. I say this from experience. My jeans still say “hello” in white acrylic.
