Karen S.ParticipantReally beautiful, Sally! Did you add some subtle color and texture to the top and bottom of the background? It's showing that way on my screen and is very effective in denoting the sky without painting it in.in reply to: Paint: Barn Swallow Form and Texture #957903

Karen S.ParticipantI have the same issue, Jenny. I can insert a comment or an image, but not both at the same time. This seems to be a recent problem in the past month of so. If anyone has suggestions about how to do both, please share.in reply to: Paint: Mix Colors to Create Hue #951986

@Donna Yes...dimensions, proportions and that head! Out of desperation, I traced some of the outer edges, especially the head outline, to get it right. Then I was able to do all of the details myself. As a novice, I gave myself permission to do a bit of tracing and hope that as I improve, my eye will improve too. Sounds like many of us found this drawing quite a challenge but the results are impressive.

Karen S.ParticipantI love this, even with the chocolate chip smudge (at least you didn't get it on the bird lol)! It's looking very realistic, even at this stage.

Karen S.ParticipantI followed Jane's suggestion to view the picture of the cardinal on my tablet while I drew. It helped greatly in seeing the feather groups more distinctly than on the print out, especially when zooming in.in reply to: Draw: Northern Cardinal Feather Groups #945806

Karen S.ParticipantI found this exercise and Jane's approach overall, very helpful. For someone with a lot more experience, drawing shapes might be too basic. But as a complete novice, it taught me how to focus on the subject matter and has built my confidence that I might actually be able to do this!in reply to: Draw: Northern Cardinal Basic Shapes #943799
