Artist's Comments

A self portrait done in these awesome water-soluble crayons that you can draw with and then add water and paint with like watercolours.

This is another piece I've been doing for ages and only just 'finished', although whether it's actually finished is debatable.

Anyway, I'm fairly pleased with it, although I think the face should've had a bit more expression.

This is SOOOOO beautiful. The colours are awesome, and the hand... oh, so fantastic. I really envy you because of these cool techniques you know. I only draw with pencils all the time.. This is such a lovely portrait picture. And you are beautiful.

Ohh thank you so much :hug:
You should go to an art shop and buy lots of exciting materials and get inspired :D I actually love messing around with these crayon things, you can be so creative and loose, and they really encourage me to not be so fussy about detail like I usually am.

I am blushing about your beautiful comment. Thank you :)

Thanks very much :D It was difficult to give too much attention to the hair as it kept moving!

I'm afraid I wouldn't know what to do with those materials.. :blushes: I'm really pathetic, I know. But thank you for the advice! I'd like to be able to colour like you someday.
Keep up the wonderful job, my dearest Bristolian friend! :heart:
