"Alright, kids, let's wrap these paintings up and head home for the day. Mama's got a date with MasterChef and a bottle of Moscato."
A group of teenagers finished applying their last few brush strokes to their canvases before putting away their materials to be cleaned.
In the midst of their getting ready to leave, one student looked over to see her classmate still actively painting.
"Wow... that's amazing, Odie! It's so lifelike!"
Beside her, an orange-haired young woman briefly stopped her painting and turned to smile at her classmate.
A tablet rested on a small table beside her.
She quickly typed away on the screen.
Thank you! I mixed some sawdust with the paint to give it a more textured look!
"Oh, wow... think you can teach me that sometime??"
Naturally, with one person calling such attention to the work of another, the rest of the class, of course, became curious.
