I'm so glad the video gave you the inspiration to try something new. It's good for all of us to take some risks when we draw or paint, and the consequences of failure are much better than they are with bungee jumping.<br />Hi, Marque,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. You can't miss with a muted palette--there are so many subtle harmonies that you can play with colors which work together naturally. I like the idea of painting swatches of the pure colors as you did, and you can also paint crossing stripes to see how the colors overlay each other. Have fun on your trip to Italy. --JG<br /><br />Thanks, DZart!James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-78218291344415527792014-09-01T06:17:35.954-04:002014-09-01T06:17:35.954-04:00I downloaded your video and have already watched i...I downloaded your video and have already watched it twice. You even got me to try something I never do -- paint an animal. I never paint people or animals because they all look like mutant moles. Even when I paint my kitties, I usually start from a tracing. So I tried painting "Rosebud" (the horse? I think that's her name) and am so pleased with the outcome. It really does look like a horse!! Oh ok, it does look a bit like a hyena, but still, I am happy. <br /><br />I've never taken an art class, but watercolor has been an important destressing hobby for me (I'm a cardiac telemetry nurse), but your video gave me a lot of confidence to just try. <br />Well worth the 15USD. <br /><br />Eric<br />Phoenix AZ<br />eric135.typepad.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-41151674871562114902014-08-31T18:53:45.927-04:002014-08-31T18:53:45.927-04:00Well, I was going to make a purchase sometime soon...Well, I was going to make a purchase sometime soon, but now I will have to do it immediately!
