I just painted 5 acrylic paintings on cheap 9x12" watercolor paper and boy, are they awful IMO, LOL! But I know these quickies are to start to get the algorithm going on the site.

Sundays are usually my only day off. I spend time with the family, meal prep for the week, research upcoming strategy and create some BINs if I'm up to it.

Task: Get your supplies together. You don't need much to start: Basic supplies: - Canvas or Gallery paper (start with 12x9 or 11x14) - Acrylic paints (basic color set — under $20) - Brushes (variety pack — under $15) - Cup for water - Paper towels - Palette or paper plate - Pencil for sketching Set up your workspace: - Find a spot with good lighting (near a window is best) - Lay down newspaper or plastic if needed - Get everything within arm's reach Post a photo of your workspace and supply list in the Day 3 thread. Why: You don't need expensive supplies to start. Most members start with under $50 in materials. Having your space ready removes excuses. Proof Format: "DAY 3: Here's my workspace setup. [Photo]My supplies: [list]Total cost: $[X]I'm ready to paint." - Example

And it wasn’t a family member! 😂 A whopping 99 cents from guy in Florida. I’m in CA so not even a neighbor! The ball is moving - maybe not rolling yet but it will. My shipping materials are not delivered yet. Went to the PO to get a box just to watch a woman walk out with every last box in size I needed. 😂 I’ll just have to make a box - cut one down or something. Good grief…
