My latest belly painting

I did this belly yesterday. It turned out ok, but the white and black were tacky and didn't seem to want to dry. Those two colors were Tulip brand. I guess I will have to try a different white and black for bellies because my friend wanted to be able to put a loose shirt on but was reluctant because of the tacky paint. It was so tacky that when I accidentally very lightly touched it, the paint came off on my finger along with the blue base coat underneath it (it was just a spot and easily touched up, but still...).

I think this is just lovely!! you did a great job..the roses are gorgeous and you did a great job on the blending...Big thumbs up.

I love how soft your colors are. Interesting about the Tulip brand. They had a BUNCh of it on clearance for like $3 the other day. Glad I didn't bite now. With as humid as it can be here it would never work for me.

looks so sweet!

sooo so pretty.

Love it!!!!! The roses are great!!

Thank you for the kind compliments everyone.

Sophie, I think you are right. The humidity level was about 100% that day as it was raining and has been raining ever since! I'm sure that probably had something to do with the tacky paint.

beautiful job!

All the Tulip paint I have, purple, green and blue...stain for days. I dont have white or black though.

White and black are the only Tulip paint I have because I read that post where someone did a review of it and showed the staining of the other colors. White and black don't stain, but as I just noted, they remained tacky when the other paint was dry on this belly painting I just did. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was because of the humidity, but maybe it was because I had to do a little more layers of the white paint due to painting on top of the blue base. I don't know. Maybe a combination of the two? I also noticed this summer when it was hot and humid that the Tulip white was goopy and sticky, making it hard to work with. I just want to use it up and get a different brand.
