I've been wanting to paint lately, but didn't have the equipment to do so. Then Mom dug around in her stuff and found some canvas and paint sets she said I could use. Hooray! So I brought them out today and decided to try a trial run, cutting off a small bit of canvas to practice on, about 5"x8". I was so excited to try the acrylic paints and create a beautiful little picture.
However, it turned out that the paints were very old, and had dried up. I was able to squeeze a bit of color out of the tubes, but it really didn't paint the way I wanted. Oh well. I guess next time I'll try the watercolors, and maybe I'll just buy my own acrylic or oil paints to use at a later time.
