Painting.

This is my painting. It's going to be just very bright strips of colour. Barely creative at all, all you people who "wish you could paint or do something creative". All you need is a ruler and some sticky tape, and paint of your choice. And brushes.

I choose oil paint. Because it's a very deep paint, the colour refracts really vibrantly. It takes at least a week to dry, though, and it's the messiest thing ever. You get a bit on your sleeve and it will travel extensively wherever you move your arm and all randomly on your fingers and tools. I paint in my pyjamas wearing an apron, then I wash, put clothes on and go to work with only slight stains. In the background you can see the Christmas card design I am painting.
