Putting in some more orders below the market to try to get back the rest of my position at a slightly lower cost basis . <| sep |> get the shit out of here . <| sep |> Wasnt the kirpan originally a long sword , not the small dagger we have todayless than 6 inches ? Edit <| sep |> Yeah mate . Sold one copy there . Have 4 to move though so want as wide an audience as I can <| sep |> Amateur painter here too that attends painting drinking classes , and paints along with YouTube tutorials . You ' ve gotten some good advice here already , but one thing I found helps a lot is to Prime it with gesso in advance . I use WAY less paint that way , get much more even brush strokes , and can get away with lower quality paint as it covers better over gesso . I also have a tiny spray bottle on hand and lightly mist the entire thing occasionally . Once acrylic starts to dry it ' s a bitch , so the key is preventing it from drying in the first place . Good luck and keep it up ! !
