I think you got home just in time as the weather is now dreadful here - it is only 2.30 in the afternoon and it is dark, cold and rainy outside.<br /><br />Love your textures - I have to say i never throw old brushes away unless they are hairless and things like rocks and bark are great to do with an old brushstamped on a work surface a few times to spead out the bristles and dry brush with any medium such as gouache, water colour or acrylic. You can get a great look if you do this in two or three colour layers using the same technique and finalise with a 'glaze' for the highlights or shadows.<br />Your work is really professional looking, love what you do :-)Steve Speighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11079911630688872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812637766426734403.post-53881734694613039832013-10-04T22:07:03.205+10:002013-10-04T22:07:03.205+10:00Thanks Julie, you are very kind, enjoy the long we...Thanks Julie, you are very kind, enjoy the long weekend also! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952078740095874112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812637766426734403.post-85370417857967451592013-10-04T22:06:22.562+10:002013-10-04T22:06:22.562+10:00Thanks Kristin, I love a bit of glitz and glam, gi...Thanks Kristin, I love a bit of glitz and glam, give it a go.
