Fest

I was nervous about drawing the flutes—glass and bubbles seemed intimidating—but those simple-shape instructions really clicked for me. The finished piece looks festive enough to hang above my dining table, and the whole session took about two hours with zero frustration.

The bubbly flutes came out looking so festive I almost didn’t want to put the kit away. Breaking down the glass shapes into simple forms made the whole painting process feel surprisingly doable for a total beginner like me.

I’m usually hopeless with perspective, but the way they break down the flutes into simple shapes made the whole thing click for me. The bubbly texture was surprisingly fun to paint, and we finished just in time for the toast.
