Really cool stuff above! I'm not that "artistic," I don't think. Mostly, I just try to draw something as accurately as I see it. This just in, thanks! I don't have any landscape stuff, nor have I done wildlife (except for two pen and ink eagles I drew just out of high school). Heck, I find it intimidating enough just to draw human teeth. You'll notice none of my pics have open smiles!

Awesome as always Mtnmun.
Thanks Phyl.
Mooser, step outta your comfort zone and try some nature scenes. Portraiture is some of the hardest to draw and you are excellent at it. I have complete confidence in your ability to be spot on with nature as well. Think you'd enjoy it.

But I'm afraid!! :-)
No, thanks for the encouragement, This Just In. I'll give it a shot, and post my attempt (though I'll be away from my drawing table for the next two weeks. Gives me some time to find a sweet photo to try to reproduce).

Keith Leaman,
Thanks so much for your advice. I hadn't thought about soaking paper to reuse it. How does that affect the amount of water the paper can absorb afterward? Watercolors...are tricky. Yes. I wanted to paint a couple things inspired by a recent trip to Patagonia and went a more abstract route and incorporated some drawing on the first one below. Was aiming to end up with finished products that I liked, and I did, so that's a success in itself!!! I do love painting, though. I think part of my frustration comes from the paper in my watercolor journal. It's a Moleskin journal and the paper isn't very high quality, so I can't be as precise as I want. These first two were painted on Canson Cold Press 140-lb paper and I like that better.

hey there say, yosguns... that looks really nice! say, i like to use paper and soak stuff INTO in, and then use it for painting little cards...
makes interesting backgrounds... have not done many this year, but that is fun, too... soaking stuff into paper, as an extra thought... :)
edit:
hard to explain, but drop blotches, etc, of various
liquid stuff down and let them soak in, etc... overlap them,
etc... :)

I run down to Capitola several times a week. Like most locals I run right past some lovely art work.
There are several large murals throughout Capitola as well as extensive tile blocks on the low sea walls.

hey there say, all... finally got about six small acrylics done, that had been in the wait-line-up, tooo long...
CAN'T share some of them, as, they are surprises... but,
i might share these, as,
i do not think that the persons that i did them for, ever LOOK over here...
so i will take a chance... but two folks might, so i won't put theirs ...
hope these folks do not peek in though:
:
PHOTO is wayyyy too blurry... will try to take a better one, later...
these are not toooo blurry, i think... but, they are just a bit...
ooops, i just noticed i did NOT paint the cat's whiskers in yet, :)
must go finish that...
the OTHER two, i will share later... :)
THEY ARE BRIGHTER THAN THIS, BUT I HAD TO
PHOTO-- without flash, or they shine up too much to see...
:)
