@doggymommee8301 , @Voy Kay - this is absolutely fantastic you guys painted together. I am supporting that great fun and learning and friendship we found here. Everyone, please do not be shy and let's get together for painting, it is incredible experience. I surely recommend it too!

Felix And for sure it warms our hearts that you are so supportive and motivating for these endeavours! We will carry this on, you bet!

      Lilikins Think 'The time of your life' Lilikens (no dirty dancing but happy painting!).
      Any chance to roll your easel for a few hours to a room with good connection? It would be worth it!

          Sunnylady I highly cheer and recommend your call-up Sunnylady!
          In fact, you were the drive for the very first paintdate, remember? Amongst the best request I ever had!! 😁

              Sunnylady I’ll be honest I haven’t used Skype since my undergraduate days many moons ago so that didn’t occur to me. I’m sure there’s a solution somewhere I am just technologically challenged. I’ll get my husband to look into it. If I tell him it can’t be done he sees it as a challenge and makes it happen - that’s how I got my easel😂

                Oh wow Lilikins! I laughed so hard just now! Last paint date with Voy, I actually ended up using the Skype app on my phone, because my personal laptop is a dinosaur and the audio is bad so I ended up having to use corded headphones. That was a bit cumbersome. So with my phone, I was able to show Voy what I was working on easier because it is MUCH lighter than my laptop. Added benefit, I used blue tooth headphones. If you want some help on internet boosting ideas, let me know. My boyfriend works in IT, so he can point your hubby onto the right path.

                doggymommee8301 so it worked well on your phone? If the WiFi connection is poor I could always use the data on my phone but I figured the little screen wouldn’t work. Can you do a Skype call with multiple people? Maybe we can have a Skype party!

                  Lilikins the screen was obviously smaller, so it was a little more difficult to see what Voy was working on, but I much prefer the phone because of the audio quality. I’m thinking about getting a new laptop now. I’ve never used my PC for anything but writing but I HOPE there will be many more paint dates in my future and I’m in a weekly RPG now, so I guess it’s time to upgrade. A Skype paint party would be awesome!!!!

                    Lilikins if you're using more than one device you could even set it up so that you can film more angles at once

                        Felix yeah....I can’t even successfully post photos. I better not push my luck by attempting more than one device 😝

                        My work schedule is a bit irregular but I’d love to participate in a Skype painting party! If anyone is planning one or interested let me know!

                          The challenge will be coordinating all the different time zones. I don’t sleep very well, so I can be pretty accommodating and paint in the middle of the night if I need to.
