Are there any spray varnish options you could use? That would eliminate unwanted brush strokes

I want a crapton of Monster High and Ever After High dolls for customization stock...

I mean....I still have my crapton of them that I think I offered to you last year...

@Kaderin: It is hard to estimate the material costs besides the canvas because I use so little of the paint on the sizes I have made so far. Like I use a little blop of paint but was it 1/100th of the tube? 1/10? I dunno! Same with the flow medium. It cost about 7 dollars for the bottle but how much of the bottle is going into each painting is a mystery to meee. Aaany way:

Reusable supplies:
A tube of paint is about $3.50-ish
The flow medium was $7 for the one quart bottle
Tap water for thinning is negligible

Single use supplies:
A dollar a piece for the glass I was using (not sure how big they are cuz I don't remember 5x7 at the largest maybe?)
1.55 for an 8x10 canvas board
80 cents for a 6x6 canvas board
1.60 a piece for the stretched canvas I got but they were crap so not sure about selling them.

@Mekatra: There are but I tend to get puddling with them since I suck at knowing how close or far to be from my painted surface cuz I am awful at everything.

@Den The obvious solution is to rob a random little girl's toy box.

I have taken a screenshot of that information to use for math at a time when my wrist isn't screaming in agony.

I hope your wrist is better today, and I hope it's not broken. ; n;

The base of my hand, near my thumb looks maybe a little swollen and it feels pretty much the same as yesterday.

If it doesn't improve at all by tomorrow ( or maybe Monday/Tuesday ish), I'll have it actually checked.

Go ASAP if it's not getting better! ; 0;

I mean, it's hard to plan hospital trips around 2 jobs when you can't afford to miss a shift...
Plus it's cheaper to go during the week, if I recall, because it's emergency room only on the weekends and that's more expensive.

I hate that this country is fucked up about medical expenses. People shouldn't have to worry about the cost of urgent care.

what sucks is that with Medicaid, there's a financial limit, so if you make too much money, you can't be on it.

Well, even with my two jobs, I still am on medicaid, so....yeah.

I should paint tonight... I haven't painted in a few days... hmmmm colors colors....

Paint something in Derpy colors!
8D

Define Derpy colors... like how would you describe his coloring? I'd probably have to mix custom colors which is not my strong point.

Cream, pastel mint green, pastel pink.
The colors of Derpy.
XD

Or galaxy colors (purples, blues, teals, black, etc.). That would also look cool.
