" Hi! This is Brenda and we are working on our acrylic painting project. For this one today, I have chosen a little bucket. We have our acrylic paints and various colors, our brushes, a little water and our little plastic container to hold acrylic paint. Now I think for this project today, I am going to choose this brush, which has the flat head and I am going to dip into some blue paint like this and I am just going to draw something that may look like water pouring out of the bucket, like this. Now I like to go through stores and the art sales and find different containers and wooden objects to paint on and that way if it just really doesn’t turn out too good, then I have not wasted a lot of money and I can just kind of try on my creativity. We have a little water there that looks like it is dripping water. We can go back and take some white paint like this, kind of go around and outline it a little bit and for time sake of course, I can’t do all of it, what you do is just go all the way around, may be make a little drip down here, this would be a cute little bucket to put various items in and if you wanted to personalize it, you can put a name on there if you want to, you can put some cleaning supplies inside, you can give it as a little fun gift to someone and it just makes a whimsical gift."
