Gorgeous ACEO Max, but I can’t see Molly.

Molly is very sweet Max! She must have been feeling shy as it took her a few minutes to load. Love the colours in your encaustic too.

Fab lavender Hazel.

Love that one Brenda, as Margaret says it’s very atmospheric!

I’ve been taking photos of some of my postcard sized artwork in mounts this morning.

Yes I remember Molly she is lovely Max :slight_smile:

Great sketch Stephie :slight_smile: playing with that pen is very addictive I was sketching the lavender in the garden yesterday and the time flies by - I find it very relaxing :slight_smile:

And very different to my latest pieces of Art In Wax, which have been abstracts on mini panels, I have them curing on my mantle place at the moment, they need a few days before I can then list them as part cured :slight_smile:

Lovely blue skies here in Southend at the moment, I have work and chores to do today so might not get in the studio today …

They look wonderful Stephie! :smile:

Have you seen the new United by Art challenge? It’s a very colourful duck, I’m thinking of having a go with my polychromos pencils, though I want to finish my tulips first. I’ve got my all day workshop with Geoff Kersey coming up on Saturday too, so I’ll be busy!

So excited! I’ve got my email from the Derwent Art Academy saying I’ve graduated! :slight_smile: I’m going to choose the coloursoft pencils. No point getting Inktense as I already have plenty of those.

I was torn between the coloursoft and the pastel pencils. I chose the pastels, and have been warily eyeing them up for a few days now lol…I’ll have to sidle up to them, pounce, and draw something quick before the fear factor kicks in and I run away screaming! Is this what some people feel when they look at their watercolours???

Possibly!lol I don’t fancy pastels because I’ve seen the ones Mum has and they seem quite ‘dusty’.
