  20. Hello and welcome Mikkamakka,
    lovely to see her through your eyes.

    Anno,
    Thanks for enjoying the proverb. I was working with a poem for her....
    but the poem seemed like it was for a drawing that I have not made yet...
    So I had to make a proverb up instead, thanks for enjoying both!

    Hello Amalia,

    An english rose, I can see this too. Thank you. The proverb came from her spirit~

  34. Love her! She is so sweet but with depth and intensity. The contrast of her eyes with the softness of the rest of the picture is wonderful. I think you should a large painting of it! Same colors, same everything!

  35. Sweet and delicate, like a doll. Watercolor is difficult to work with, and you are doing great!

  36. hello and thank you all for your lovely supportive comments. you all touch my heart and make sharing my art such a delight.

    Rosa,
    Hello,

    This piece as most of mine these days are done with prismacolor pencil- mostly the face and then acrylics for the rest. I do often add glazing medium to the paint which makes it translucent as well as go further, perhaps that is what makes it look like watercolor.

    with warmth,
    Tammie
