It'll be fine.
We'll get you an industrial air conditioner and hook it up to a space suit with a really long hose.
Then we'll attach a modified speak-n-spell that will add "eh" in a Steven Hawking voice whenever it detects the end of a sentence.
And we'll rig up the plumbing in your washroom to spray maple syrup in the shower.

It'll be just like home.
Until you adapt to Texas... then you may like it.

And then you'd be one of us...

ONE OF US.
ONE OF US.
ONE OF US.
ONE OF US.

Before you assimilate did you use dry painting method or wet on wet out of curiosity? Like the depth you've achieved.

I think it was a mix of both. I don't really remember, I just picked up a brush and went at it, then waited, then went at it again a week or so later...

So I guess it's wet on wet, then dry brush

Hi Ivan!

Wet on wet is when you pre-treat your canvas with liquid clear or turpentine (artist grade). Oils will stay wet for w eek by themselves but the treatment helps blend and flow and remains workable with no pixelation or raggedy edges

Jaepheth can you do me a *small* favour and paint a really drunk-looking horse flailing around in the middle of the lake and add the phrase "Oh, and this goddamn drunk horse" to the poem below? tks
