I used to have a dark room and would use it to trace pictures. Lots of people do this. I still like the picture. I like the colour choice. I never had the patience or capability to do water colours.
As long as you are having fun that is the main thing. I like acrylic better than oil. Mostly I like that you are happy and have something you like to do.
Thanks everyone...I guess I should have been more clear.. I was just too excited when I got home last eve. This is not watercolour..its acrylic/oil..I did the 3 lessons in watercolour and all I got out of that was some boxes, shapes and swirls...way too hard for me...although I signed up again for next month..haha..will see about that...because when I was at the craft shop last week I saw an advert for this class.. it guarenteed a nice picture at the end of the class ....and it was dog day yesterday... I brought a pic of cleo in and stenciled it then it was basically paint in the lines..hahah.. it took all day though! ..so now I've found something I like...I'm going back next Sat too...its a scenery day...sorry if I disappointed anyone in my lack of artisticness...if thats a word...but hey..I drew it and coloured it well!!
Your painting is amazing. I'm with Davit, not what I expected from water colors.... very bright, very striking. You SHOULD be proud of this accomplishment. Also the getting it resized and posted. You inspire me!
Hi Juanita: You explained it perfectly. I can relate totally to this one. I didn't get very many encouragements growing up either and used to put myself down a lot. I might still think negatively every now and then but can stop myself now and I can graciously accept compliments. Now you understand this and you are stopping it now too, Bravo.
I've had a lightbulb moment..... I want to share with you all...while I was making my meatloaf I got to thinking about my post and I thought" I should have wrote " its just a STUPID little painting " ..but then it came to me...it took me 47 years to really think, and be able to tell others, that I was worthwhile..my negative core beliefs about never being good enough, never trying hard enough..well, I havent said ..or thought...very many nice things about myself in years..until coming here of course..oh how I wish I had Sunny's way with words...I hope you get what I am saying...I grew up in a house where it was never ever good enough...so that belief carried over with me..even to this day, where a part of me is ashamed that I think my painting is good...don't worry..I don't think I'll ever get a "big head" so to speak..but its really nice to be able to think and say nice things about yourself...and finally, truly, believe it!! Maybe this should have went under Success stories, cause as hard as this is ..it is a sucess for me!My loaf is done..used Corn flake crumbs instead of bread....did it before..really nice...take care my friends..everday is just another step in our journey
