The days activitys acomplishments as well as some learning expeirances

Worked with some acrylic gel medium to mix with my paint so it lasts longer.  i picked it up from wet paint last week this guy helped me find it and everything else i needed. amazing store the workers were very polite both times i have been their. you can tell they have passion for what they do. im such a noob when it comes to art supplies the people make more of a difference where i shop then price. id recommend them highly. One other place i shoped at this week was michels in harmar mall. the worker dint even pay me a second glance. They had a lot less selection but i was abel to find some wood panels that worked very well as molds. Best thing about harmar art supply shop is its proximity to harmar petshop where i got to check out the reef tanks and critters  :) Friend of mine mentioned to keep looking for deals online as well. Iv learned it pays to listen to good advise. I think i have most all the art supplies ill need for a while other then more paint and canvas and a easil which i might build. This afternoon i read some of my books on scetching i find it hard to draw things im not intrested in and have digressed to re drawing the art work off old magic cards i had laying around. Now that was fun. I always think of really stupid lines to go with my drawings. mostly play on words :). Finding a hard time learning to paint small letters in acyrlic in order to use them as keys to the book that goes with my interactive map art. Now im watching the walking Dead on amc off my x box 360 gammer tag is IGC Postman if anyone ever wants to play black ops call of duty :). One of the things i have also been experimenting with today is pouring acyrlic into molds to make acyrlic paint houses stand a quarter of a inch off the canvas. Hasnt worked so far but im not detered.If anyone has advise on a good way to acheive this please hit me up. time to do some writing i think.  i plan to gather a few people intrested in art and have like a dinner art party night once a month where we can share ideas and do art stuff together if anyone is intrested localy here in the twincities just hit me up. Ill keep things posted when i figure out what might be best.
