I'm glad you could do that and not be bored, that is so smart Shannon.<br /><br />Masking fluid is quite easy to use. I find using the bamboo tool quite interesting. When it dried you rub it off. It's very smelly though. I asked my teacher about it but she uses her own palette and she has dark purple already, I have to make mine. I'm thinking of smuggling in my own paints next class.Suzie Ridlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603343663483772145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491992562898036318.post-72434671960041453932015-11-17T23:50:47.079-05:002015-11-17T23:50:47.079-05:00What a beautiful picture of you and Scout, Jamie! ...What a beautiful picture of you and Scout, Jamie! How wonderful that he keeps you company while coaching. It's awesome to have a heater-cat too, hehehehehe.<br /><br />I was happy I could help with shredding some of Mom's stuff. It's amazing how much shredding there was overall. I almost want to throw a confetti party!<br /><br />That's so cool you are using masking fluid Suzie! I've never tried that. I think it's going to look awesome! Maybe the teacher has tip for going darker with watercolours. I know to make something look like it is in shadow you can go over it in the complimentary colour, it's a little finicky and by definition will look brown but it's one thing to try.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817958532654236542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491992562898036318.post-12658497058750431302015-11-17T10:08:52.657-05:002015-11-17T10:08:52.657-05:00Shannon, I love that shot.

I'm glad you found a creative way to be entertained!<br /><br />Suzie, your paintings are wonderful. How awesome to be learning techniques like that. Can't wait to see the finished piece!Jamie Ridler Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03406607157962872001noreply@blogger.com
