I have a little bonus show-n-tell. First - a thank you to http://pintangle.com/ for listing me as one of the interesting blogs to visit! Since Pintangle is a fiber and stitching-related blog, I will show a little stitching project I am working on. It is of two macaws and I am showing a detail of it. I am "painting with thread" to fill in the design. It will take a long, long time ... so don't hold your breath to see this done anytime soon! I must tell everyone that I did not design this. It was from an iron-on transfer book I got in 1982!!!! But I always loved the design and wanted to do a stitching project with it.

The watercolor/pastel is coming along nicely. It looks very different from your usual. Must be the paper!
I look forward to seeing Mr. Parrot all filled in!
I see a lot of details and hard work!!! You should do those bright fishes on this paper!!!

Your watercolor under painting looks really good. I think maybe if it felt differnt that the pastel board, try to use more w/c pigment, and a bit more water with a large brush. Remember a bright under painting is good for the pastle--and all those drips are easily hddden if you like. You are doing really good. I got an email from a lady in Alabama that is going to be at the Mekinnley clinic---Karen Margulies---she is also on the DailyPaintings website and is real nice, so You will get to met her!! Good luck!
Thanks ladies, and thanks Ida for the tips. I will look up Karen.
Hi, Carolyn! I admire your pastels! The tree superb! These purple and blue shades in the shadows - a charm! You make great strides forward and this is great! You are working on details and it gives a sense of reality! By all means you are pastel whizz! P.S. I hope I did translate right the last sentence... ;-)
