For anyone painting signs or murals where there is a lot of sketching and erasing, I thought I'd share this tip. Sharpie shows through. Yep, I cleaned up all my pencil lines and of course the erase makes it's own subtle marks, but a fresh coat of white paint over all my painstaking work (it does give one a moment's pause) and then **poof** the background is all fresh again and the line you wanted to keep at the only ones showing. Thought I'd share in case you didn't know this little hack.

I have a couple of food reference photos that can be used! First photo is an open sandwich with basic homemade bread, smoke salmon from Trader Joe’s, mozzarella and avocado slices. The 2nd one is a mug brought home from husbando’s shopping spree in October. The last two are from restaurants around town. Really enjoyed them both and I really liked the crème brûlée with espresso/capuccino (been there twice and never missed ordering this dessert)! Last one is a normal everyday meal for me. Hope these references help! (I still suck at taking real lifestyle pics)

Wanted to add to category I saw was empty. What better way than to share pictures from the zoo! Drop some of your favorite animals below and let’s get wild! 🤪
