fiery storm
#

ill take a pic

#

hows this?

#

@random flicker sry for ping

random flicker
#

these could possibly work, you can try applying some small brush strokes with it over a dried section of paint on your canvas and see if itll stay

#

try making a small 'x' somewhere on the dried paint on the canvas and see how it works out if it works, then you can use it for this

#

yeah

fiery storm
#

okokok

#

i was distracted just now

#

just drew the cross

#

so

#

when i draw a cross idk if its bc its watery but then like it slides around easily

#

and you may not see a clear outline of the stroke

#

@random flicker

#

idk if its cause its watery

random flicker
#

got a photo?

fiery storm
#

@random flicker

#

i also have watercolour pencils and watercolour pastels

#

i forgot to mention

random flicker
#

Okay this isn’t too bad. But yes pastels def can save this

#

What colours do you have

fiery storm
random flicker
#

Yeah I’d just do the piece in pastels

#

They should layer fine over what you have going on

#

And then spray it with a fixative or hair spray when you’re done so the pastels won’t shift around

fiery storm
#

do i use watercolour pencils to draft or do i just dig head on?

random flicker
#

Just go in with the pastels

#

You don’t need watercolour for that

fiery storm
#

😭 you can tell i do not know hwo to draw impressionism and what im doing

fiery storm
random flicker
#

It’s just short strokes

#

Just mimic the colours you see in the reference

fiery storm
#

@random flicker how long do you think this will take? Cause its now 5am and i need to wake up at 6

#

im wondering if its worth it anymore to stay up

#

my mom dont want me to have any missing hw but like if i stay up and finish it i rlly wont get enough sleep and i only slept for 2hrs last night as well

random flicker
#

prob more than an hour

#

you can always work on it tomorrow

fiery storm
#

nut i need to hand it in today

#

*But

random flicker
#

ohhh

#

uhhh

fiery storm
#

im used to like handing in stuff late but my mom will be angry and disappointed if i dont get this done cause i procrastinated a lot and yeah i didnt work on it earlier

random flicker
#

yeah idk what to tell u about thato ne

fiery storm
#

and i've barely made any progress

#

idk ive just been really distracted tdy

#

idk maybe i should work on it tmr>

#

?

random flicker
#

i would

#

id rather turn it in late vs not at all

fiery storm
#

cause like i feel like i will literally pass out due to sleep depreviation

#

and

#

if tis one day late it shouldnt be a big deal

#

we have 2 wks grace periods (i hope that applies to this as well)

#

ugh

#

my mom will be mad anyways

#

its just my fault for the whole thing

#

i should just own up to it

#

nothing can save it at this point in time
