That’s so neat how you knew all of the artist named paints at such a young age, and your dad was so right about having to make your own black. Oh yeah, vermilion is a red color….do you paint as well? Don’t worry about not getting over often….I know how hard it is to fit all of the wonderful blogs into a busy schedule!

Monarch: Thanks my pretty butterfly! Opps, I mean handsome!

My dad always said to make your own colours too – especially black. I remember him using lots of ultra marine blue, prussian blue and yellow ochre. I knew the names of all those tubes of paint at a very young age. There was another I recall now – vermilion? – I’m not sure if that was red or green. Hmmm. I need to get back to the drawing board…

Great post. And I wish I could get over more often.

I know how you feel when painting…I have no patience as well..I want it done NOWWWWW! lol.

Bets: Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the kind comment! :)

Joan: Ooooo, watercolor painting is so much fun! You must pick it up again! Thanks for the nice comment! :)

Shelley: Thank you! It was fun to do, but halfway I thought…what if I mess this all up? I’ll have to start over and delete all these pictures! lol!

Ben: Thanks Ben, that’s so nice!

April: YOU CAN TRY IT!!! I bet you would do a wonderful job! Yes, you can do the background first, but leave a big white spot for your bird or else everything will look a little dark. Thank you April!

Lana: Thanks so much! I hope it’s easy to understand and makes one feel like they want to try it! :)

I often try to imagine how I’d teach someone about something, only to always end up realizing that I wasn’t born to be a teacher. *L* You’ve done a great job of it here.

Your words are so encouraging – it makes me think that maybe I’d like to try it. A good winter project perhaps – when we’re snowed in. I was wondering – can the background be done first? Very interesting tips and instruction. Thanks for this. WELL DONE!
