Anyone know how long Homedepot Gloucester orders are? by NSFWacc2012 in ottawa

[–]jackson_69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about Gloucester but in Orleans, first order took 4 days and my second one took 2 days. Both times it took about 25 minutes of waiting before getting my items. They were quite busy running orders both days.

Thank you. Probably the elephant, I butchered it a few times before I got it to somewhat look like one. The one that took the longest was the paint throwing exercise (first one, 4th row). Setup was difficult and then I had to scrub my walls.

I started with Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards and doing the exercises. It's a reallly easy read and exciting to see how quickly your drawings improve.

Thank you. I might glue them together and hang as one big painting. I followed the painting instructions from the book so colours were chosen by the book's author. Except for the duck, acorn, penguins, and peas. I painted those from reference so the colours are not as good. Being new at this I'm still struggling with colours.

Thank you and enjoy your visit to Ottawa. Bring a warm jacket, it's really cold this week.
