A purchase made on August 29th will be shipped October 1st.
Smart Art sends all sorts of different art supplies and project ideas out, so you never quite know what you will receive. The painting boxes are always my favorite. I wouldn’t say I am good at painting, but I do enjoy it.
The July 2016 Smart Art focused on Creating an Impasto Painting. The information booklet includes history Oscar Claude Monet who developed the technique. Also included are some tips on how to complete the project, a list of included tools and set-by-step directions.

Instructions & Painting:
I started out taking pictures of each Step on the instructions, but I got so into it that I forgot. My husband was like what are you even doing? I was like shhh, I am painting! It doesn’t exactly look like a tree, but I love it. It’s a “full-on Monet”.
