      @sketchbook Welcome to the forum. Finding a tribe is so important and while SVS courses are great and full of valuable information, it's even nicer to have people to share them with, and to share that common goal of story telling. I admit, however, that I am really jealous of your thousand kilometer walk. It must have been a great experience.

            @Heather-Boyd Thanks for the warm welcome and for your observations on the Dino-biker. I'm enjoying experimenting with gouache. The textures really add an extra dimension to a painting. Itโ€™s been pretty hit or miss, but I'm getting a few more hits these days.

                @demotlj that is for the welcome. The Camino is one of the best things Iโ€™ve ever done. It is a unique experience in terms of world travel. It's one of the few 'vacation' destinations that is guaranteed to be difficult, uncomfortable and challenging, yet every year more pilgrims set out on the path. If you ever decide to go, let me know, Iโ€™d be happy to bore you to tears with observations and advice.

                      @sketchbook I can love gouache one moment and then the next it frustrates me.

                        Your work is amazing. All I think is missing is a portfolio and youโ€™re good to go. Amazing!

                          @nyrrylcadiz That's the big plan for the next couple of months, to try to pull together a strong portfolio. I've been drawing, sketching and doodling all my life but putting together a good professional portfolio of finished pieces is something I have never done.

                              I love your art, it is very good! You'll build a pro portfolio in no time.

                              I think you could not find a better place than here, it is a very welcoming place to find like-minded people showing constant support.
                              I came for the very same reason.

                              Also, I walked the Way from Burgundy some years ago. Nice to meet a fellow pilgrim here ๐Ÿ™‚

                              Cheers

                                @Julia SVS seems like a wonderful place to get (and give) some extra artistic support.
                                The Camino from Burgundy must be amazing. I would love to have a chance to walk through France. It must be so beautiful. So happy to find another pilgrim here. Buen Camino!

                                  @Sophie-Lawson Thanks for your welcome! I agree with you an island of artists all striving to help each other improve sounds like just the right sort of island for me.๐Ÿ˜Š
