        Were to begin. I didn't make deadline but decided to post here. I started out with pencil, then added watercolor. Then added acrylic on top. What a mess. LOL Messed around in Photoshop a tad but my skills are limited with it. So, this is all I've got today. Warning; I'm a work in progress!

          Kind of all over the place. I feel like if I could just get the shapes and drawings consistent I could move forward. I absolutely love Kley, Daumier, Carter Goodrich, Peter de Seve, Arthur Rackham (and so many others). I'm having fun with the drawing; just putting it out there. 🙂

                After much thought, I've decided I really need to invest in better materials. ...and to keep practicing, of course. 🙂

                    @Suzy-Heitz Nice work. Using high quality paint and paper do make a difference. I like Arches paper and M. Graham paints. Quinacridone Gold is one of my favorite colors. I really like your Easter piece.

                          @Suzy-Heitz That is really cool! I don't know if I've ever seen an illustrated recipe before!

                            @BWoodford Thanks! It was so challenging. You should defiantly give it a try!

                              This one is a picture manual. A bit rough but I managed to finish it. I'm not too handy with Photoshop so please don't be too harsh on the contrast.

                                  A little bit of art journaling yesterday. Does anyone else find this challenging?

                                      I've been experimenting with watercolor and acrylics too.

                                        Drink doodles. Now, if I could figure out how to do a more complex composition I'd feel like I'd be moving forward. Cheers!
