It had to happen … My dear friends wish me luck – I’m off to the plaza to shop, and those that know me understand this is my worst nightmare….
‘The Kid’ turns 14 today and her big brother 4300km away thought it a great idea to send visa credit cards …. and I just happen to be the only one about to get her to the shops …
My epic day is in the art studio creating with just me – her epic day is to spend every last visa dollar in an overcrowded plaza on school holidays with a million other kids milling about .
But with all my moaning it will be an awesome day ‘The Kid’ is fun to be with and has a smart mouth like her Mumma to keep me in line – we are planning Sushi and I convinced her to buy me some new hoop earrings 
she gave me a $5 budget
And I created this rock of ‘The Kid’ shopping while I braved up to the day ahead , so thought I would share it with you all !
What is your take on shopping do you love it or loathe it ???
Use a black colour pen and outline the image, Great pens for outlines are Posca 1m, !mr or the 0.7m size in Tooli-Art or Artistro.
And if you want to add a touch of highlight – pop on a few dots and dashes of white paint .

Colour on your rock – I have just painted a nice even layer. You do not want to paint it to thick. The more layers on the rock the more chance it has of peeling off later as the water in the base evaporates. Click on the image below to find out how best to paint on rocks!
Shading makes all the difference to the end result. Adds depth to the Image.
I use clean water and a size 2 or 4 filbert taklon paintbrush click on the below image to learn the technique – or head to YouTube to watch how I do the shading.
