...Thanks so much everyone, I really appreciate it!<br /><br />Chrissy, I have some Schmincke gouache colours and I've played with them a few times but I mainly end up mixing mud! I think my primaries may not be right. Not sure I like it, but maybe with more practice I'll warm to using it.Felicity Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145205761346733464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221007307735821550.post-42011797888239947512010-06-08T07:23:00.695+01:002010-06-08T07:23:00.695+01:00Wow!

As others have said, your talent and precise 'style' with the pencils has translated across to brushwork too. What's this about being 'rubbish' at backgrounds? You have set this bird within its context just right (IMHO). Less is more so they say!

They have their own unique challenges which were sometimes quite frustrating. There is no harm in getting out the paints and doing both! I'd be very interested to see how you got on!Felicity Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11145205761346733464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221007307735821550.post-72471994620707335432010-05-28T03:16:17.630+01:002010-05-28T03:16:17.630+01:00As always, a lovely rendering.

It would seem you have a talent with the paints too, and I especially enjoyed your observations about how "sketching" with paint differs from sketching with pencil. Since I've been pairing with June in the challenge, I increasingly think she has the easier job with her paints than I have with my textiles. It's tempting to try more with them.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221007307735821550.post-17130966168856281922010-05-28T02:52:17.177+01:002010-05-28T02:52:17.177+01:00It is absolutely fabulous!
