It's not that painting the grasses takes a long time, but my eyes will only let me work on it for so long before they tire. And I wear ridiculous-looking goggles for magnifying, which really mess with my focus!J.B.

Without that, we don't pick up the paint brush...from there, surprising things can happen! :)J.B.
