I'll move on to my new flat before Christmas...if I finish to paint all that f##g walls.
No more figures for me until then,I'm afraid...
I hate wallpapering and house painting. Even more I hate people who tell me "But you paint all these little things so this is certainly a pleasure for you too"
"Oh, you paint all those little sodliers, so it must come natural to you" A.) I hate doing it and B.) How many straight lines do you see on any of those little soldiers? and C.) Painting soldiers does not cause me severe neck and back pain for days afterwards.
Just show her the size of the brushes and pots of paint and explain just how long and how much it will take. Claim to have weak wrists that can't bear anything over a size 3 Series 7 brush!
And if all else fails tell her that do it yourself means do it YOURSELF and not nag me into doing it. I painted 3/4 of a wall in 1973 and left it for a couple of days to finish it off - I have near been asked again
Jaume,
I hear that paint-slinging is the new thing...give it a go, I am sure the spousal unit will enjoy the creative aspect of the application :lol:. Besides staying inside the lines is SO overrated
Are you ready yet??
Otherwise we all can come over to help you. Could be a nice idea for a workshop??
Hope to see you back soon. Like your style the most at the moment and I'm trying to use the techniques but never ever met it. But I will keep on trying.
