Morning!
My husband doesn't like me messing with glass or power tools, he's afraid I won't be careful. So that makes me have to get creative in my ventures for aquatics. Awhile back, I got some of the foam boards from the dollar tree. Using tape I fitted a decent canopy. Well last week we had to bomb the house, so the tank needed covering and I didn't want residue on the canopy. So I press n sealed the tank, and placed the canopy outside. Our luck it decided to downpour. We all know what happens to paper done this way. A new canopy was in order.
A trip to the Dollar tree yeilded me see electrical tape, packaging tape and white foam board. I wanted black but nowhere local had any. So I had to compromise .to keep the light from escaping I taped the entire inside of the construction with electrical tape. This alsoawill help keep it bowong from trappedoisture. I used packaging tape to hold the joints and stuff all together. White can be boring, and being an artist I see a blank canvas. So today and tomorrow and possibly the next day, I will be gessoing the outside. Now is where I run into my issue .I've no clue what I want to paint on this thing. I want to paint the top and all sides.
If anyone has any ideas for what would be a great scenery to put on this, I would be much obliged.

it seems to work well enough. Keeps the fish in which is theain importance. I'm still not sure what I want to paint on it though .one more coat of gesso and it should be primed enough.
