Both girls were getting a little grimy and dusty from the work, but they were eagerly focused on the task at hand. Finch hadn't realized what a mess they'd made of the area until she had stepped back to examine the first board. Wood shavings covered the floor of the barn, pots and bowls were scattered about, some brimming with paint and others beginning to dry too quickly. Oh, shoot. Perhaps they'd bitten off more than they could chew. Finch groaned and pushed aside one of the bowls where the paint had dried to the bottom. "Ummm, let's ignore that one!" She laughed. It was a tester color, anyway. The pretty color Jay wanted was still good to go. "I think we should do the the paint first! Then the beeswax will protect the paint after it dries... I'm pretty sure. I took a painting class at Armada, so I'm pretty much a total expert now," she bragged, dramatically puffing out her chest. Finch scampered to another recess of the barn and dragged out a worn basket where she'd stowed the painting supplies that same class had provided her. There were a few boar's hair paintbrushes in there, one of which hadn't been cleaned properly before storing. The bristles were stuck so tightly together it resembled a weapon more than a tool for art. Finch giggled and grabbed one of the fluffy ones, dipping it in Jay's color of choice. "Leeet's paint!" she said, her voice muffled by the handle of the brush. She started at one end of the board, swiping on wide swaths of color. This was a lot easier than the small, controlled strokes from the painting class. |
