This was actually a very relaxing lesson - and a great idea of something unique to paint! Hardest part was tracing it on the watercolor paper! Thanks, Dennis - I actually learned a lot in this class!

I was looking at that lesson and thinking I couldn't do that! Hmmm... maybe I will try it.
Embroidery is the proper term for that type of handiwork, I think.

Thanks Kathy! I showed this to a friend and she said it's very spiritual - a bit like a Mandela!
I can see why your friend would say that. I agree. As you stated on OLA, it was the most relaxing class you ever took. That shows in your painting. It is peaceful.

there is a bit of time with the camera isn't on the painting so you have to improvise a bit, but heck, we're all pros by now is it's no biggie!
:doh: I received a message from on of my students who is waiting for me in the Rio. Wanted to know if I would consider making a video for the class! At my rate they'd have to make a sequel out of it!!! :crazy2:
You are the 'Go Pro', whereas I am the 'Slow Pro' ! :2funny:

I did watch the video, but decided I need the practice and worked direct from the photo. I must be be mad! :crazy2: I did the drawing, painted the background, and put in the shadows! I may have gone through a third of a bottle of eye drops, and half a box of kleenex polishing/cleaning my glasses and my magnifier! :tongue: I really need one of those big ones to clamp on the table.
Lloyd didn't even complain (too much) about missing his lunch and getting a throw together supper! :2funny:
My eyes are in need of a bit of a rest after that, so thought I'd post this for anything you might see that I may have missed (Sharp eyed Sharon & Dead Eye Dennis ;) ).
If anyone else wants to put in their two pence.... I could use it as I'm a getting a bit low on paper! :whistle: ;D

The main cabin was 100F give or take a degree, and the water in my mix was evaporating faster than I could get it on the paper! :sweat: Have never done so much mixing so quickly...I think it has helped me on that front! No time to fiddle too much. So even though some of the colouring is a bit off, it only took a couple of hours to paint! Now that's amazing!!! :heeha:
Not so sure about the 'relaxing' bit. :2funny:

If you want to work on this a bit more, think about strategically adding a gray tone shading to give the material some depth. Right now it's a bit flat. :)

Agree with Steve about the contrast, though.

I'll get it out again at a later time and see what's to be done.
So... :heeha: for now I'll stick with the larger items, we have so many wonderful ones to choose from. Plus, I have quite a lineup building since I started going through all of the photos on the old drives! Lots to do!!! :yippee: :painting:
