I've hardly picked a brush up in months and months since I started drawing Jan, but I do intend to do a few paintings during the summer when I am away in the caravan. I've really got the bug for this graphite drawing though pal. xxx

thanks Jan. I started and packed up watercolour painting quite a few times and got quite depressed with it. I thought I would never be able to paint. I joined the SAA and they sent me some 4" x 6" postcard size pieces of watercolour paper and I painted the vultures on one of them. I really liked it so that ebcouraged me to try harder. It is in a frame and looks good on the unit below the TV. xxx
