It's been a really busy week in work, and I was in no mood to paint when I got home. I had managed to give it a base coat last Monday, but nothing since then.  Looked at the Rhino last night, and there was a snail on it. 
Today, my day off, the sun came out. In this light, I could see the brush marks made from Monday's hasty painting session, so I had to spend a good 20 mins sanding it down, before I could make a start. As we are taught in office work...break down big tasks into small manageable chunks, to make them less daunting. I made today's task the head. Following the design, I blocked in areas of colour, cursing myself for throwing out all of the plastic tubs I'd been storing for months.
I also questioned why on earth there were so many black lines in the design. Painting lines out freehand, is a nightmare!

I spent ALL day on it... stood back, and it felt like I'd hardly achieved anything today.
