Project Tree of Awesomeness has been fairly productive. We began our painting journey by setting up a base coat on the front side of the board. Since none of the desks were large enough to hold the board, we used Mr. Bursch's lab stations. It was pretty straightforward and 'basic' (that was a pun) so it only took about a day or two to complete. Mr. Bursch provided us with a large piece of cardboard to ensure we didn't get any paint on his lab stations while we were setting up the base coat. Hopefully, none of the other classes were working with acids at the time. (Get it? Bases and acids? Science class? Anyone? No?)
We ended up creating two layers of white acrylic paint on the board. At first, we thought a single layer would be sufficient; however, there were many unpainted spots showing, so we covered those up with the second layer. We should have called Skrillex to drop the base instead (another lame base joke). Now that the bases are loaded, we can commence sketching the tree onto the board.
