Getting Hold of Paint

Are you going bonkers at home desperately finding things to paint and then not having the right colour ahhhhhhhhh an anguished cry.

So two options
Put all your stash of paint on the kitchen table and experiment with what cool colours you can make by mixing two or three together. They combine beautifully and you can refer to the colour chart for combo mixes. Remember Annie designed it to resemble the colour wheel with red at the top and yellow and blue at the bottom of the triangle.

Your primary colours (from which all colours can be made) Reds and yellows together to get your own shades of orange. Reds and blues together  make lots of gorgeous lilacy colours and blues and yellows together - well wicked greens suddenly appear.
                                   

If you are lucky enough to already possess Colour Recipes then I refer you to that for hours and hours of fun playing with colour. If not I recommend popping over to the online stores and buying it!

Or
Dilute your paint with water to make a gorgeous dye for a spot of tie dye for your tired old T shirts!

Getting more adventurous? You can explore using Chalk Paint™ to develop patterns on fabric - free hand painting, stencilled patterns or experiment with folding the fabric.

Have fun in lockdown - the time will wizz by 

Bye for now and happy painting
