    Welcome to the reveal thread for February Paint! The reveal will start between 7.30 and 8.00 this evening. Before we start I want to say a big thank you to everyone who participated.

    Our contributors this evening are:

    Player Role Player Role
    Heidi Describer ari101 Painter
    bolgbui41 Describer looksee Painter
    PurpleMountain Describer fixXxer Painter
    Mamof4 Describer Taiga Painter
    Clarabel Describer Baggly Painter
    Micksjaguar Describer sulli Painter
    ASLB Describer H2DPB Painter
    Necro Describer Reberetta Painter
    Trigger Describer Cee-jay Painter
    HomerJ Describer aaronj Painter
    Ted Describer Aceandstuff Painter
    Seph Describer Neowise Painter
    EEFGGFEDCCDEED Describer BuileBeag Painter


    Special mention to our new players, Heidi, Ari and ASLB. If I missed anyone, my apologies. You ALL did a brilliant job. :D

    I had an idea for this paint to take a picture where there wasn't much actually IN the picture and see what damage would happen. I wondered what would remain and what would be lost...and tonight we find out.

    I'm posting the original image below. Please hold back from commenting too much beyond "Wow, quite like what I saw/described" and "OMG nothing like what I saw". Basically don't give it all away :)

    That's a real thing? I was first painter so I suppose it is not entirely unexpected... ;) Looking forward to seeing what mayhem occurred there after! :D

    Ecto, I'm curious to know where you got the image from?
    It looks like a photo from a random garden :D

    There's a deep and detailed method that I won't bore you with.

    Suffice to say it totally wasn't just a random image I found.

    Swearsies. ;)

    Without the description you would have a blank canvas

    This may be a touch embarrassing but...

    Is this more likely to be closer to 7.30 or 8.00?

    I'm trying to time my takeaway.
