I offer a big heartfelt thank you to Artful Gathering and to Jerry's Artarama!

So if you think you would enjoy using Daler Rowney shimmering blue acrylic ink,

  38. She's beautiful with stunning eyes! I like what you said about the colour being between the 2 images. I seem to lose the subtle colours from my paintings when I scan or photograph them, a little frustrating at times but occasionally it improves them! :)
