100 Things You Should Know Before You Paint

The other day my color karma was completely off so I decided to take a day off from color and do something in black and white - two of my least favorite colors.

I knew I wanted to write a list. What did I know enough about where I can list 100 tips on one subject, that couldn't be color related and my blog friends would still want to read about? Painting!

With more years than I'd like to admit, I know enough about painting to make a paint contractor jealous. So the list started. 

I'm not going to show it on this blog page because of the page configurations, the list wouldn't look right so I have it in Squidoo all ready for your viewing. So without further adieu, click on “paint brushes” under the picture of the brushes and that will take you to the list of 100.

Let me know if I left any out!

    I think you should change your logo. It looks cheap, like paint ball and you are not that.

  4. Anonymous. You don't like my paint splats? I never thought of paint ball when I looked at my logo but you're right, it could be represented by that as well. I actually think that is a good thing since I'm located in the south (NC) where shooting is HUGE. Just about everyone owns a gun and paint ball is actually a really fun sport here as well. It's fun for the kids and something the family can do together. But, I must say that personally, I'm not a fan of paint ball since I own a few revolvers and I do prefer a 38 special over a toy any day :-)

    Getting back to the logo. It's actually quite symbolic. If you look closely, you'll see that each one of the "legs" of the splats is touching the color next to it. This is a reminder that each color needs to be a part of the one it's next to it when designing a color scheme for a home.

    If you look even closer, you'll notice a tiny dot of color in each splat. This means that in each color, you'll find just about every and any color under the sun. One color is made up of many.

    Thank you so much for talking about my logo, it was a first! It seems that most people really like it and whether they do or not, it still gets noticed :-)

    I hope that you'll find the list of 100 helpful when you paint. Think of my logo when you do :-)
