Blue Paint FAIL

I finally moved onto a new art piece today.

I went up to the art rooms second lesson to wash my canvas....this really nice blue [such technical art terms] . I wore a painting shirt in the effort to keep my nice, clean white top [maybe not the best outfit choice in retrospect] from harm. After a couple of minutes, I got frustated with the overall and took it off, thinking that I wouldn't need it jsut to finish of the edges.

I was late to my next lesson so I rushed off to Maths and sat down to find a blue stain in the middle of my top. FAIL. I ran to the nearest toilet to use a sink to try and wet it slightly in the hope of removing the stain. no luck of course....as people know, acrylic is one of the worst things to get onto clothes....complicated to remove and may be permanent. As it dried throughout my lesson, I was able to pick bits off....its pretty much clear now, a good wash should do the trick.

I went back at the beginning of lunch just to check the paint was dry...it was, so I moved it onto my easel. I was then told the art rooms would be shut so I started packing up. I was about to put my coat on when I noticed a huge blue paint mark on my cardigan. no, not a mark...more like I had intentially taken a roller or large paintbrush and swept it along the right side of my cardigan. FAIL STRIKE 2. could this get more frustating. As this was/is my favourite cardigan, I was devestated, rushing to the sink and scrubbing on it. I then spent the whole lunch wetting my cardigan and scratching off all the paint on it, while my friends [who looked at me as if I was some crazy child] suggested the possibility of dyeing my cardigan if worst came to worst.

In the afternoon I went back up to the art rooms to actually start the painting, approaching the canvas very cautiously. I looked at the pristine blue coverage over the canvas and sighed. I will never be able to look/touch blue acrylic again [that is, after this piece is finished].
