" Hi! This is Brenda and we are working on our acrylic painting project. Now once again I told you earlier that we put on an apron to protect our clothing. We have got our paint here on our plastic paint pallet. We have got various colors here on the table to choose from and our different brushes. Now for this project I am going to get out my sketch pen first and just practice my strokes before I actually do it on an actual project. This one I am going to use my spongy brush like this, just to see what kind of effect I get from this and as you can tell this covers a little bit more space. Your painting job for this one would get through sooner. Now I am going to attempt this one also, see what this looks like, may be little green and also if we would like to have a project that we can double load we can do that, put a little green on one side of the brush, little pink on the other and get a kind of a different effect with that. It may take several times to do that to get just what we want that gives kind of a contrast."
