    It all began when I decided to plan a new bed of annuals (mainly)... using colour pencils.

    My daughter came and said it was not too bad, only that I had to develop it.

    So I just began attending some classes with the teacher, who prepared her for the Arts School exams. I find it interesting, especially now, as we're still under the snow. :)

                Thanks for all your encouragement!
                I'm doing it just for the sake of the garden, I craved to 'materialise' some of it in the idle winter season.


                Woooooo, :lunapic 130165696578242 5:
                I find them difficult, yet. But, yes, I'm heading there.
                And I still don't have the slightest idea how to handle different materials (oil, water, acrylic colours, textured paper and pencils...) It's a whole new world. :scratch:
                Very absorbing, I just love it!

                              Your art work is lovely... you have a good eye for dimentions and detail. Over the past few weeks I've been attempting watercolour, but quite frankly I'm hopeless at mixing colours, so I'm in the middle of creating a colour chart. Keep sharing your progress :)
