I somehow acquired one inktense pencil and I have to be careful if I use it instead of a watercolor pencil. It’s a serious black! My surgery is over and I’m in a cast, trying to do one-handed things around the house but mostly needing help with just about everything. Try peeling a banana with...

Don’t give up on the Inktense yet, Jade. I was thinking the same as you; maybe use them only for select effects. I like the first cat too because of the fur texture you got. Does the kind of paper matter? Maybe the wet effects are better on certain papers rather than others?

Stunning!

That’s the best thing about acrylics, isn’t it? Just keep repainting until you get something you like.

Merry Christmas to you, too, and thanks for sharing your work! This is so well done for such a complicated subject.

So did Bruce Springsteen name a mango after himself or what? It’s beautiful and your hubby is to be commended for finding such interesting models!

Beautifully done, Grapes! I like how the simple background really makes this fruit stand out. Your still life subjects are so exotic and I hope they all taste good.

I saw this earlier in the week - sorry for the late reply. I really like what you did with this figure! The brush strokes remind me very much of Cezanne. I don’t know enough about cubism to see that influence but I like the result very much.

Yes, a gorgeous bouquet, Wayne! There is something magical about the pink in the upper left - perfect for the season! Merry Christmas to you, too!

She will love this, Wayne - because it’s her dog and because you painted it.

That’s a very nice portrait! Wise choice to leave out all the background and focus only on that handsome face.

These are all so good! I’m enjoying seeing all the different variations of some of the same animals/fish. Keep them coming!

I like the loose, relaxed look of the first one too. The second one is also very nice but those boats are wonderful.

Beautiful light on those flowers! The rich purple does look regal. I’m glad you’re bouncing back!

Nice light in this one. Just keep painting with no expectations and see what speaks to you.
