Yup. I HAVE been drawing - and painting - just not posting.
Many cats, a few dogs, one horse, a tiny rooster, and lots more waiting their turns.
Have used graphite pencil, colored pencil, soft pastel, and gouache.
Same have turned out better than others.
None have been complete failures - whew.
I have learned:
* painting with gouache is FUN.
* it's O.K. to resort to graphing out an image (or two).
* to look more carefully - especially AFTER something can no longer be fixed.
* how to fix some things.
* to cut myself some slack.
* to use a timer if I want to use a timer.
* that it's O.K. to spend more time with one image than with another.
* to go with the flow. (That's probably a lie.)
* that painting chicken feathers need not be feared! Beaks? Beaks are a different matter.
Yes, I will post images.
Yes, I an thrill that the owners seem to enjoy their furry friends' portraits.
Yes, more challenges are being added almost daily.
I asked and folks' have shared.
Thanks for the kind words and the kitties. So. Many. Kitties....!
