That's not to say it is not going to happen at some point. Trying to get a lot more things sorted out at present.

I was so excited to see how you used your dylusions inks here - I have just started experimenting and I so love the softness of colour you have created here. Thank you for sharing your techniques, artwork and thoughts. You really must consider having some classes/workshops as I would so love to spend some time in your "artistic presence". xx<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11231151871246156111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812637766426734403.post-19602277952267973962013-10-16T09:22:32.064+11:002013-10-16T09:22:32.064+11:00Thanks for your lovely comments Debbie.

Their website is www.portacraft.com.au, now I have had a quick look at the site but it doesn't show any stencils, you might have to get in touch with them. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952078740095874112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812637766426734403.post-17365523745866451892013-10-16T09:10:01.830+11:002013-10-16T09:10:01.830+11:00I am glad you like it AuBien and thanks for checki...I am glad you like it AuBien and thanks for checking out the blog. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952078740095874112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812637766426734403.post-3591149639504948452013-10-16T09:07:08.395+11:002013-10-16T09:07:08.395+11:00Thank you so much Gez. xThank you so much Gez. xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952078740095874112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812637766426734403.post-42957838207235629642013-10-16T01:46:49.951+11:002013-10-16T01:46:49.951+11:00Another new to your blog and amazed and love this ...Another new to your blog and amazed and love this page.

Once dry, may be painted over with oils or acrylics and cleaned up with water." The one I am currently using is a cheaper brand and not one I would recommend. Golden Gesso is on my list next. Hope this helps! xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952078740095874112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2812637766426734403.post-25431057828182910402013-10-15T22:19:42.859+11:002013-10-15T22:19:42.859+11:00I think you are probably right Steven, the little ...I think you are probably right Steven, the little details always seem to sneak their way in haha!

Not only the subject matter is so endearing and enchanting, but your technique and drawing/painting ability are just superb!<br />Such great ideas, their closed eyes and the shadowing on them, their sweet and loving expressions, and then the details that you added, the antlers, her braids, her hair that you draw and paint so well, this is just stunning and it really does have an Irish feel about it. Great background!<br />I am like you, try to be messy but I'm all about detail, and it's so hard for me to change and do loose paintings, my best intentions always end up being so much work, and detail prevails I'm afraid!<br />CONGRATULATIONS on this Serena, another typical masterpiece of yours!Marta Ramirez - Mystical StarSylphhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124571227363893858noreply@blogger.com
