“In the paint”
🟡💡🔵🔵

Hi Strands fans. I struggled a bit today, despite seeing the spangram right away. The word MEDIUM written in a straight line across the fourth row just jumped out at me from the get go.
That should have set me up nicely, but I didn't know what it meant, even within the context of the theme ("In the paint"). So I used a clue, which revealed ENAMEL, and I realized it was about different kinds of paint.
This, to put it mildly, is not my forte. Nonetheless, I was able to complete the top half easily enough as it was essentially two anagrams. PASTEL was on the right, with FRESCO on the left.
Moving onto the bottom half, I found WATERCOLOR in the bottom-left corner, but then was a little stuck. Eventually, I spotted ACRYLIC spelt backwards above it, and that just left TEMPERA in the bottom-right corner to complete the puzzle.

“We're going under cover”

Hi Strands fans. I wasted quite a bit of time looking for words related to being undercover (disguise? detectives?) today, having missed the space between the words "under" and "cover" in the theme.
Fortunately, I eventually spotted BLANKET in the top half of the board, and was on my way. Having already seen "clothes" below it, I extended this to spell the spangram of BEDCLOTHES to split the board in two. I then grabbed QUILT in the bottom-right corner.
Two words were left to find in the top half. THROW was in the top-right corner, which left me to connect AFGHAN in a straight line on the opposite side.
I drew a blank on the bottom half, though, and had to use a clue. That revealed SPREAD on the left-hand side, leaving me with a simple anagram to decode the final answer. It was, of course, COMFORTER.
