I've just started painting again, after a break of 20 years. Would be interested in sharing hints, tips and photo's (if I can work out how to get them on!)
I wish I could paint, the closest I get is using the water colour crayons and then smearig it with a damp brush :lol:
I am ok colouring in the lines but sdly I have no talent for free hand :(

I do oil painting - would have really loved to have been an artist (and live in a garret;)) but sadly I wasn't good enough.....so I turned to photography and the rest as the say is history.:lol:

This is a interesting hobby and needs a very steady hand have a go and let us all see your outcome great in the summer because you can go out and about to the countryside and paint landscapes

Thank you both for your comments I'm very glad you like it. I do enjoy painting, but don't get much chance with a lively five year old. I've only just started again, cos i've now got a little bit of time to myself on Fridays when he is at school! So i rush round and do all the housework in order to indulge myself. trouble is, what with cross stitch, gardening, DIY and card making as well - it's kind of hard to fit everything in - Maybe i could give up work - no that won't work - there's a mortgage to pay too! :(
You are really, really talented :D
I also love cardmaking and cross stitch :) Sometimes there is just not enough hours in a day,eh? :rolleyes:
That is a beautiful painting web i dont think you need practise either ;)
