Have you tried straight dish washing soap? It has worked for me with any kind of paint. Just apply it to the brush, work it in with your fingers and rinse off with running water. Repeat if needed.

Yes, it works decently, but still won't get the last residue bits off as well as turpentine.

I didn't notice this nastiness when I was just out there. I need to get a scraper thing to hang on the cage. Hm...

They're extremely different. I had a bit of trouble at first because I kept using them like watercolours. They work best with thick application and implied detail, which I struggle with. I keep wanting to smooth my brushstrokes out, but that ends up looking forced and weird. I like them though, more so than acrylic.

I see. I struggle with that too, that’s why I love watercolor. You can get such tiny details and work as slow as you want haha.
I hate acrylic.. by the time I’ve found the perfect shade of colour, it’s all dried and I have to start over. But from what I hear, oil is the opposite and takes forever to dry. Hm.

Weeks and weeks! One picture I did of a sunflower took probably close to two months.

There's a container type thing you can buy with a sponge in the bottom that keeps acrylics from drying out. I've used it a few times.

I was told the same. If you want it prescribed those are the only two uses. He's not recommending it to you bc he can't make money off of it unless it's for those two reasons. He can instead recommend a prescribed drug for whatever ails you and then he gets to profit. Dr's are business men above all else. You can buy your own and try it but it's expensive. I'm probably about to get some for myself just trying to figure out which type I want to try before I spend $150 on it.

I can get it in health food stores here. Already got cannabis cream. Amazing stuff.

Cleaning out the chicken coop.
It is so small. I need to downsize but now that is looking like the only way to do so is to kill birds...

Permethrin will treat scaly leg mites right?
