"That was an inspirational workshop! I love the quick pen and wash sketches and they are so effective. Your town looks very inviting and real, as a sketch should do. Because houses are all different once they start aging, particularly in medieval…"

"Sounds like its going to be worth it. The price has gone up a bit, but its way cheaper than getting it anywhere else! My daughter wants a copy so she can have my older edition."

"Thank you! It seems to be a couple of steps forward and a couple back as I grapple with the medium. Just when I think I have cracked how to get a lovely wash for the sky, the next one goes bleah. I think I really need to go a bit bigger, use an…"

TCam said… Declined work today so I could stay at home and enjoy the silence. Last night I pulled out my spinning wheel and started spinning up a lovely dyed merino that a friend gave me yearsssssss ago. Was thinking of you! lol Too bad we couldn't move Australia a little closer so we could have a Spin-In!

I have been trying to avoid them too and haven't looked up any of her work at all. I watch the video once then again with my kids and then see what I can do. My goal...too relax and loosen up (while having fun) so I'm not too stressed by it all. I haven't even thought to look to see if anything is posted. It should be...if not then it should be up shortly.

Hey Caroline,
I have but as you say it is so hard to find anything with so many uploads and comments so I have posted them in my 30 Days here too. I need to do another watercolour...I didn't realize that we were using it as a background for something else when I did my first one. Is that what we are doing??? Some peoples comments and questions are pretty confusing....I'm not sure where they are getting their info from. lol
