NYAA service

6 November 2007
Hours Completed: 5hr (1st Shift)
Participants: Yi Wei, Jun Han

Today, we went to the Spastic Children Association School to continue painting the toy library there. In June, the sec 3s had painted 3 walls there, and now the sec 2s are helping to paint 2 more walls, the sec 3s, us, went there to supervise and help out in some of the work needed to be done. The objective of today's visit was to paint one of the walls. The first shift had to sketch the picture designed by one of the sec 2s, Quinn, and start painting.

First, the newspapers were laid up on the floor around the wall to prevent any paint from staining the floor. Then, after the sketch was done up, we started painting. The painting went quite smoothly as we painted the rabbits and the apples. However, some problem was faced when we found out that we did not have yellow or brown paint.
This was essential was we needed to paint the tree branches. In the end, we painted as much as possible before our session ended, and we left the place leaving the second shift to paint any other parts of the picture that did not require the use of brown paint.

P.S. How do you get brown without yellow? I tried green, red, black mixed together, but the closest colour I got was marroon..... the rest looked like some gray shit.
