"Today we shall bring out your inner artist. Picasso! Leonardo DiCaprio!" Hydra announced.
"You mean Leonardo da Vinci," Leo corrected her.
"Same thing."
"Two very different things."
"Go wild! Paint anything! Well, anything you can show to your grandmother without desecrating her eyes. Okay you guys?" We all nodded in response to her. She and Lynx passed out canvases, paints, palettes, jars with water, and paintbrushes.
"What are you guys painting?" I asked.
"How about we paint each other," Sagittarius suggested.
"I'm down with that," Taurus said. "Let's do spin the paintbrush to figure out who's painting who."
"I'll go first." Leo spun the brush and stopped at me. "All right, I got Lib."
I spun the brush and it landed on Taurus. "Sorry in advance, I can't really paint."
"It's fine, but I'll treasure it regardless."
After we all spun the brush, Taurus got Sag. Sag got Leo. Gemini and Pisces got each other. We each gave each other reference photos for the painting. It was also somewhat of a trust activity because we exchanged phones.
I decided to use a picture from my photoshoot that I did during the winter.

It was somewhat of a difficult picture but since Leo was the artist of the group, I knew she could pull it off.
I began mixing skin tones to find the perfect shade for Taurus's complexion, after I finished a sketch I was slightly proud of. I painted the hair and eyes a rich brown. I finished up with shading and highlighting.
For the first time in a while, I made a decent looking painting that I was proud of.
Virgo's POV
"So what are you guys painting?" I asked.
"A liger." Aquarius turned his canvas around showing a pretty good picture of a liger.
