I took an eight year hiatus and resumed painting a couple of years ago. It was so frustrating I almost gave up because I felt like a kid re-learning the Alphabet.<br /><br />But I like your girl here--you really captured the cold weather and her thoughtfulness. I do think though if your finding the paints difficult to use, to switch to regular watercolors.

I cannot critique work...I just find I see a meaning and what a piece makes me think of. It is because i just love looking at art. In my view nearly all art is good if it comes from a good intention...This is actually lovely in its delicacy!!<br />I don't know if that helps!!!<br />Keep going, I would say you have a great talent:)<br />xxGwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023473462815457423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139121696660893859.post-86162561594139527792012-02-19T00:17:50.848-08:002012-02-19T00:17:50.848-08:00This is perfect!

I love watercolours and changing to better quality watercolours was like a revelation for me... couldn't believe the difference in the pigments and how much more clear they were... having said that I use a koh-i-noor- watercolour wheel all the time and find that this is a great go to for everyday play... still has clear beautiful colour but not as permanent... I can't wait to see where you go with your watercolours because this is so lovely and I know it is going to enhance your already awesome drawing skills...xxTracey FKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052306649633275907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139121696660893859.post-50342644209564638042012-02-18T21:05:03.553-08:002012-02-18T21:05:03.553-08:00it's beautiful!it's beautiful!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720030744345215307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7139121696660893859.post-57676001452186765802012-02-18T19:34:35.189-08:002012-02-18T19:34:35.189-08:00every time we paint we learn something new...
