Live and Learn

It's been awhile since the last post, but this is one of the things I've been up to--Learning this little Lesson: If you choose a dark color somewhere in the spectrum of reds or purples, make sure you get the primer tinted, or--Streaksville! I have chosen a lovely shade that, when cured will be a rich, dark color. Unfortunately, it will take about 5 coats of paint to get there. I have had this problem once before with a deep red, but I was trying to be practical and use some primer I already had purchased (as opposed to getting a new one tinted). I also didn't want to have a bunch of tinted primer left over.  Sigh. More work for me. Oh well--on the bright side--good thing I love to paint!
