Oh wow, thanks so much Maki 
By the way, I also got some of the silicon blenders and they worked really well on my last piece, they work particularly well on non-sanded paper. So pleased you put me onto them. So much to learn.
Love your sweet owls, you’re so talented

Hi Emily.
Thanks so much for your kind words about my onion still life. It’s one of my favorites.
I also want to let you know how great your pen drawing of an owl is looking. The color and texture of the eyes is spot on and the multi-colored features are looking so good. I love posts when you can see a drawing as it is being created. Thanks so much for sharing.

Hi Cathy,
I like what you did with this landscape and I agree with Maki that your version has more of a natural or wild feel, rather than being too manicured. I did this lesson, but I was messing around with blending, etc. It’s much better hidden away 
. There was some good advice given in some of the comments that will help take it to the next step.

Hi Pottsie - time to get over to the Live Lesson with the rest of us.

Thanks for the prod Terri! I did join in until the end, but even though I was signed in, it would not allow me to participate. I had issues like this before and got frustrated. I’m wondering if it’s because I use an iPad? I still have frustrations in the forum for some reason.
I will try to join again next week!

Hi Sonia
So, the vulture part was right - and who knows maybe it is a baby too.

You got it! I have a collection of albino animals from pixabay. Al least I think they’re albino, but I find them beautiful. I guess going through an albino animals stage.

Terri, I just have seen your picture of your two sisters and totally got drawn into Anne’s clock. Time is so precious! It perfectly connects your sisters and what you all share together.
This painting is very special,

Dear Terri, what a nice drawing! I did the boat myself with soft pastel. As I wanted to loosen up and stick to the sticks (instead of using pastel pencils), my boat turned out … somewhat like a children’s drawing. Nevertheless, anything else has been fun.
Your picture looks so much betterthan mine,
You are so talented,
Buddy

Gosh, dear Sonia, how are you able to do drawings like this during a trip??? Increadibly awsome! I still shy away from any portrait, but hope to improve my skills on my artistic journey.

I finally finished this colored pencil drawing. It’s 5x7 on 140# Arches hot press watercolor paper. It was a photo challenge from another on-line site.
