making a little progress ...

.... though I am having to learn some new techniques, google and youTube are proving to be very helpful, this week I learned that a rigger brush is very helpful to make straight lines.

Hi, Long time haven't been to this blog, and I'm really touched by your new "direction" - painting. Actually I did lots of photo to pairing during the long tough winter in here Canada. But mostly colour pencil jobs and on 9"x11" size paper. Some times 2 or 3 paper for forming a bigger drawings. Only from this passing weekend, I started touching the acrylic, and really lots of fun. I hope one day I can get courage to do some 900x600 big job like yours. Really really nice job! and the selected photos for painting are very important too, you made amazing choice.

Hi Chun, Thank you, Im on a learning curve for sure, but I guess it always had to be that way. Once I can do something I seem to have to chose something a little more challenging to keep my interest up.
