[@charm876]

Great painting...how long did it actually take you to paint this?

[@Jaddess.G]

I personally struggle with portion sizes… was this amount of paint enough for all of her skin, or did you have to go back and mix more? Thanks for the help!

[@zeinab.fofana]

I do as well, what i'm starting to do more of is making a large amount at a time. it's always better to have too much than not enough end forgetting how you mixed it
