Boxes Galore 2018 Part 2

The Boxes are now dry so I can start work again.

Cardboard Catastrophe

I had used Cardboard to keep the Boxes clean but unfortunately some of the paint had dripped and slid underneath. This led them to stick to the Cardboard.

Boxes Bottoms Painted

Before I could start painting the Bottom of the Boxes I had to scrape away the Cardboard. I then began to paint the Bottoms. As you can see some of the colour of the Bottoms is very uneven due to where extra paint has accrued.

I am hopeful that after a few more coats the colour will even out. Looking at the photo from left to right you can see various stages of layers.

Painting the Sides

Since the Bottom is wet and I cannot hold it from underneath I have to paint the Sides by holding the Lid from the inside.

Drying the Box Bottoms

I do not want to make the same mistake with the Cardboard as I did earlier. I am therefore drying the Bottoms and Sides by propping the Lids open at an angle.
