"while i'm busy looking up the balloon, i realized that there's an ice cream melting in my hand. makes sense? don't take things for granted."

i received this quote last week and suddenly thought it would be fun to paint balloons! At that moment, i searched for pictures as my reference. Even when i had a scheduled badminton that night, i wanted to complete this in one sitting so i hurried home to sketch and started working. Not as easy as i thought because i usually wait for each layer to dry before proceeding to the next.. now i was painting wet on wet. In the end, it took me two sitting so i can paint the finishing touches.
