"Very nice John, I had a private viewing of the exhibition when it first came to the British Museum, my Mum worked there. every one was worried about the curse at the time. "

"Thank's Brian. I did that painting with the left over paints from doing my swan. It seems to have worked ok.
Cheer's my friend,
Terry."

Lea Sapsford said… Hi Brian the answer about the glass I was holding the dots were like dimples in the glass (although, the glass was smooth to the touch) and the shadowing behind is my distorted fingers. I hope that makes some sort of sense. Lea x

Get some of the rough grade practice paper from the SAA Brian. It is much, much cheaper than buying watercolour paper in the usual way and they do it in sizes up to full Imperial. Good value pal.

Thanks Brian. I am not a very confident painter and I don't like most of the paintings I do at first. But when I put them aside they seem to grow on me after a while. I was going to paint over this one but now i'm glad I didn't. Bless you pal.

I'd rather have dirty pawprints on my kitchen floor and the unconditional love of a dog than a pristine house any day!! Good Luck, Brian.......let me know if your wish is granted!! Anne-Marie x

Marguerite replied to Marguerite's discussion *** May 2012 Drawing Challenge – Please Click Here to Enter the Challenge and Post Your Drawing *** in the group The Drawing Challenge"I just finished my Yorkie. She sure is a cute little critter. I didn't have the right colors (or wasn't successful in blending them), but I do like her anyway. It's done in Derwent Colorsoft pencil on 9 x 12" drawing pad paper.

"This is a very atmospheric painting. I love the use of colour, and the palms in the background."
