I should try out those watercolor pencils sometime...<BR/>Keep up the good work!Aftertouchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487795374645312999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-42580705987560012492008-10-02T10:26:00.000-04:002008-10-02T10:26:00.000-04:00Last week my sister happened to mention inbetween ...Last week my sister happened to mention inbetween something else that she was attending a figure drawing group, something I had been wanting to start doing again, but never...y'know. I also wondered why she hadn't mentioned this before. Maybe this was a "me and my friend but without my older brother" thing...<BR/><BR/>Who cares !
