I also found that they blended really well and my favourite thing is that they can also be used as watercolor paints as they are very dilutable. Is that an actual word? ha

Instructions
1. Gather your materials. You’ll need the following paint colors (or recommended substitutions) to complete this project: Ultramarine Blue (or Phthalo Blue), Dioxazine Purple (or Deep Violet), Titanium White, Hooker’s Green Hue (or Phthalo Green), and Bright Aqua Green (or mix three-parts Titanium White with one-part Hooker’s or Phthalo Green).
2. Using an ink-jet or laser printer, print one copy of the template on regular, letter-sized paper.
1. Brush the entire canvas with one light coat of Purple or Blue paint. Don’t worry if brushstrokes are visible or if coverage is uneven, as the background will be mostly covered. Start by painting the edges of the canvas, or wait until the final step of the painting session to clean up any overstrokes.
2. While the background dries, prepare your stencil. Tape the printed template to a piece of palette paper, folding tape so that it wraps around both sheets and tree outline is still visible.
3. Starting at the edge of the stencil, cut out the tree stencil in one continuous line. Cut only on the outline so that the stencil is two-parts: top and bottom. Once your cut is made, remove the tape and discard the printer paper. Keep only the stencil.

Misty Forest Acrylic Painting
Hello friends. I hope you’ve been well. I can’t believe that it’s already August! Each summer I dread the end of July because August just seems to fly by and suddenly summer is over.
I have been making the most of these carefree days and as you can probably tell, posting very little. I am working on other things around the house that I will share later on. Can you spot a
little change on this photo? You might not and that’s ok. Hubby couldn’t even tell either…lol.
But I digress, today I want to share with you this fun misty forest acrylic painting I painted a couple of days ago using the DecoArt TRADITIONS artist paint.
TRADITIONS acrylic paint has been around for a while but have recently been repackaged into more modern tubes. This was my first time trying them out and I have to say I love them.
I found that it had a very fast drying time and they go a long way because of their superior coverage.
I also found that they blended really well and my favourite thing is that they can also be used as watercolor paints as they are very dilutable. Is that an actual word? ha
I recorded the process for you even though I’m not a trained artist, I promised you I would record it and so I did.
Here is the video
The entire process took approximately an hour and a half .
