Painting and going to the big Tesco.

Tweet

So, today was a very busy day. I had my lunch early so that I could have more time painting. My step-dad gave me the garage door key and £50 just incase the plumber came while they were out. When my Mum and step-dad had gone to the luncheon club, I set out my painting equipment. The phone rang and I answered it incase it was the plumber, and I said, Hello? But there was no answer, so I said, Hello? But then they just put the phone down and I heard it go Brrrrr. So I don't know what that was all about! I drew a frame around my paper about 1cm from the edge. Then I drew the horizon line about 1/3 of the way down the page. That was all the pencil I needed to use. So then I painted the sunset sky using a mix of lemon yellow and white for the lightest areas near the sun, then gradually merge that with orange and deep red as it moved away from the sun. Then I left it to dry. While it was drying I practised painting flying birds on a small piece of watercolour paper. My Mum and step-dad came home so I left the painting and got ready to go to the big Tesco. The plumber still hadn't been. Mum asked me to post some letters first in the foyer of the big Tesco. When we had gone up on the lift, my Mum got some more money wallets ready for Christmas. I got a Doctor Who magazine. If we'd have gone to the Tesco yesterday like we should have done I wouldn't have been able to get the new Doctor Who magazine and I'd have had to wait till next Wednesday. Then I got 3 lots of seaweed thins, some Love, Corn, 2 bottles of water and 2 prawn layered salads. There was a cute ghost hanging from the ceiling of the big Tesco for Halloween! I got some pads for my Mum, and then we went to the fruit and veg section. I didn't need any blueberries because I got them on Tuesday. I didn't need any lemons either. I got some garlic, celery, spring onions and rocket lettuce. Then I got some soy milk with no added sugar. My Mum got some bananas again. The bananas I got on Tuesday were a bit soft, but the one I had with my lunch was OK. Then I got my yoghurts and 2 bottles of milk for my Mum. Then Mum got some puddings for her and my step-dad for Sunday. Then we went to the vegan and ready meals isle. I wanted scrambled tofu but it was out of stock and the chick'n'less bites were still out of stock too. I got something else which is like a vegan omelette. I don't know what it's going to be like. I got a broccoli vegan quiche and a creamy mushroom slice. The mushroom slice is going to be for Saturday again. I also got a vegan mac and cheese. I didn't need any chicken and bacon style tortellini because I've still got some left over from last week. My Mum got her own ready meals while I was doing that. After that I got some brown and wild rice. Then I got some stuff for my step-dad, and then we got some cake. Then I got some chocolate digestives for my step-dad and some Matcha green tea T-bags for myself. Then I got some Alpen cereal with no added sugar for me. Then we went to the frozen section and I got some vegan magnum ice lollies and Mum got some peas. I got some more frozen prawns. Mum got some more frozen meals. Then I went and got some kitchen roll and some washing up liquid and then we went to pay. It came to just over £115. By now it was about 4:20pm, so I swapped my book at the Tesco book swap and then we went down on the lift. My step-dad wasn't there when we got into the under cover car park, so we sat on a bench for a bit. When he came we went home, and when we got home I unpacked the groceries and put them away. My Mum didn't help me because she was exhausted and needed to rest. I had my dinner and watched some telly. I washed up and then watched some more telly. After EastEnders I went back into the dining room to do some more to my painting. I put the telly on in there too. I painted in the sea in my picture using varying degrees of yellow ochre, a mix of yellow ochre and orange and a mix of yellow ochre and burnt umber. Then I left it to dry, and I ate one of my vegan magnum ice lollies while it was drying. It still wasn't dry so I decided to write this post while it finished drying. It looks like it's dry now. So now I'm going to paint in the birds. I might have to draw them in in pencil first, and I'll practice painting them some more on my little piece of watercolour paper. I will add a picture to this post later when the picture is finished. I might have to wait to take a picture till tomorrow though when we have natural light because the colours under the light here won't look right. What have you lot been getting up to today? I hope you are all well. Have a great night. EDIT:- The picture is now up, but it looks a lot lighter and brighter than the actual painting.
