great, full of design info., portraits here i come  -  by deborah from new york

Have been a painter for more the 20 years. I have never used watercolor, but after watching the video, I will attempt to and will also enter the portrait realm. It is exciting and the video gave me the confidence and the information needed to take the step. Wish me luck! The video is full of information and is truly inspiring.

Saw the Polly Hammett video Wednesday............had a paint day with a friend and she just got it. . I didn't think I would like it as I don't do portraits but WOW she gives so much info. Wonderfully done. And we always get a chuckle out of the takeouts at the end. We are smiling here in Michigan!
