First foray into oil paint and mixing her own colors. (I love Target. This whole set was like 20 bucks and in addition to paper, paints, brushes, and a sketching pencil, includes a wooden case that can be propped up to be an easel and also has a drawer that contains all the supplies—including a porcelain palette—and it can all be put back together and carried like a suitcase. I guess I should be saying I love things that are made cheap in China…) Appropriately, Jane wanted to paint en plein air, which made the sunglasses chip clip necessary to hold her canvas in place against the breeze. She said her painting is called “The Art Piece.”
