Hey Brigette~Thanks for your guidance!  We recently had a raccoon wandering through our yard and although I didn’t get its picture, it got me thinking of painting one so I was happy to see you were planning this class.  I had already been searching and found a cute one to paint but your guidance in the acrylic medium was super helpful for me.  One thing I don’t seem to get the hang of is mixing the paint.  I’m ok mixing with a palette knife, but the further I get into the painting, I end up just using the brush to mix, however, I can’t seem to mix without getting too much paint in the brush.  I have watched you and others mix with a brush, and I can’t seem to figure out what I am doing wrong….Any ideas what I could try or what will help? Otherwise, I found myself getting through the painting without any roadblocks.  Thank you so much for a wonderful class!
