@Debbie Hi Debbie !   I am a 90 year old guy who is LOVING this course !! I wood carve birds and am quite good at that aspect. I also paint them and am self taught so Jane's approach to painting will definitely improve my painting technique ( Liquitex/regular bristle brushes) which I would rate at good but nothing like her approach to texture/washes/blending etc. I love it but have not been successful in handling the paint consistency ( especially the small round) except for the washes/glazes.  Questions: I have never used these Pental brushes and find that I get too much water diluting my paints as I mix them ?? I don't know what to do about this. It has me at a standstill ?? I will try your suggestions and see how that pans out. Any other suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated !!
