Thank you Ingrid. Your kind words mean a lot to me. I uploaded a photo that I took of the setup I used. It's in the copyright free section for anyone to use.

Very nice, Eva. I have one just like that waiting to be eaten. Yours looks very life like.

Okay. I decided upload my watercolor video on You Tube again. I can't make it better and I worked too hard to trash it no matter what my critical son thinks! :O)

Hi Susie, I thought I'd post a piece that just made as an assignment for school. We're not studying water colours as such, but colour in general. Using water colours as a medium. The assignment was making a Madonna or Mary figure with the colours ultramarine, vermillion and gold.

I had problems making a smooth flowing background, but I'm quite pleased with the result.

Hi Monice, Your painting has great colors and the sky is beautiful, the kind of sky that only watercolors can do!! If you want to loosen up some edges, you might try putting some water on them first and letting it soak in, then blotting it with tissues. next step to try would be to let the water soak in and then scrub gently then blot with tissues, the next step could be gently sanding the edges with sand paper, and then maybe some more water. Just allow time in between each step so nothing is overdone. xxsusie

Hi Susie. Sorry to hear about your "situation". I hope it all works out for the best. I'm happy to contribute what I can in the meantime. I've done another seascape, this time trying to incorporate some cool sky effects. There's some hard edges I'm going to try to scrub out to soften them, but essentially, fini.
