Mini Acrylics for Mother's Day

I bought some cute little canvas and easel sets and this is what I did with them.



I was mainly playing with painting tiny one-stroke roses because acrylics are so
much more difficult to use than body paint, not only because the texture of the canvas is
unlike flesh, but also because the paint needs to be mixed onto the brush as you go along
because otherwise it dries too quickly.  Body paint can be prepared into split cakes and
used over and over by just activating it with a wet brush.  It also creates much bigger roses
rather than tiny ones like these!
