    I'm living in the pacific north west and it aint the cold, it's the fucking constant rain!

    but i guess that doesnt really solve any of your problems.

    here in ohio you could go paint in your t-shirt, then later in the day it would jump down 20 degrees, awesome weather.

    STICK YOUR HANDS IN YOUR PANTS... im not even joking, saved my hands many a time. other than that cloves with latex gloves over them to keep your grip.

    my other winter tip is to use belton paint, its all seasons and weather.

    ok I don't know if this will work...but you know those adhesive heat pads you use for muscle tension and stuff...well what would happen if you put those on your paint cans...it will 1. keep your paint warm and 2. keep your hands warm =) I may have just done you all a service...I'm going to try this out!


    FLAW BITCH!!

    here is a winter tip. do your first outline with your index finger but your fill in with your thumb. this allows your index finger to not be extremely cold so it may actually function to do outlines. try it.
