Jul 07, 2009 Rating Wonderful colors. by: Anonymous Don, I really enjoyed seeing all your paintings, because they are not only very well done, but the great variety of color and textures makes them fun to look at. One thing that makes it easier and less intimidating for me when it comes to drawing freehand for a painting, instead of using something like a grid, is to draw with a watercolor pencil, because to me it takes out the "fear" of "not getting it just right".

Jan 30, 2009 Rating Using Masking Fluid by: M Maxell When using masking fluid, I have great success if I first dip my brush in liquid soap and wipe off the excess. Then dip into my masking fluid (I use Pebeo drawing fludi). Of course, I clean it immediately, but the soap protects the hairs of the brush and I can use a good brush without any difficulty using soap first...

Jan 23, 2009 Rating Those fine lines! by: Alana Good use of the barter system! Have you tried a dip pen for linework. I can't decide if I like the lines or I'm just stuck on the romance of dip pens. Guess a grease pencil would look just fine beside my dip pens. Your use of color is astonishing and it is where I want to be.

Jan 19, 2009 Rating White grease pencil vs. Maskoid by: Anonymous I also protected the crawfish eyes and bumpy areas on the shell bodies and claws. I keep the white China grease pencil sharp with a razor blade. I did not want to ruin my liner brush masking the feelers with maskoid. Maskoid is a good tool but I rarely use it.

Jan 19, 2009 Rating Crawfish for Sale by: Mary Ann Don, Your paintings are absolutely amazing! I can well imagine this one took a long time. Other than the feelers, did you block out anything else? How did you keep the grease pencil so sharp? It seems quite a good way to block rather than masking fluid, which is never a perfect solution. Thanks for sharing.
