Got honest John Flying in on Friday for 4 days of paint by number training.

So getting a couple of pieces carved to paint. Plans are to paint a few small canvas pieces to go over some basics of painting with Acrylics,
blending, brush techiques, counting from 1 to 10, and prepping the carving for painting.

Than paint 3 carvings.


Hope to post lots of progress pictures for you all so you can share in the process..

if you really want to look the part I can handle the paint splatters and spills...

Don't you have to cut off an ear or something........enjoy the trip and the education. Man all the way to ten? Sounds like the Marines

All I can say is enjoy the trip. We are all envious.

beret, smock, and afro wig... for happy little tree time.

Sounds like a great learning experience. My wife is a painter and the techniques have taken some time to master before she started making really good paintings. Patience counts.

Just how much time do you have reserved for this part?

We might just spend so much on the painting part that there won't be time for fishing or beer. After all, that's the main purpose of the trip.

What with that schedule I don’t see any time allotted for the enhancement of fishing skills. ��

they're gonna let the bears do the fishing and just go take the fish from the bears...
that way they get to get the best fish w/o all the time invested and bother...

after all, if they catch a fish they'll probably have to keep it from bears anyways and that might be some effort..

@Stick486

Goo point. Alternatively you could loan them your fishing dog. Of course you would have to attend as well to get the fish from the dog. ��
