hi everyone,
I have a new painting to share. I finished her this afternoon while
babysitting my niece. I used gouache, Pitt artist pens and colored
pencils. I'm so in love with gouache. (pronounced gwash) I just recently
discovered it and I can't stop playing in it. It's an opaque watercolor
medium. The colors are just amazing. I'm thinking about doing some more
shading/highlighting on her and maybe adding a background. I hope
everyone has a wonderful weekend! :D

Lotus Fairy
Hi everyone,
I finished a new image tonight. Lotus FairyI know, "it's about time". Well, the baby was very agreeable today and let me work. :D So, I finished this image and I'm getting ready to go do some painting. I wish I had half as much confidence in painting as I do in drawing. My paintings aren't too pretty so far. But, I'm still new at it. I'll keep practicing and practicing until I'm happy with it. What is it they say, "every artist has 1000 bad paintings for every good one"? Well, it's probably going to take me 999 tries. :) I'll get there one of these days.
Have a happy evening everyone!!
