    very interesting to show how 3 different underpainting media work.
  • I am enjoying this so much, and learning from every step. It all makes such calm, clear sense, and it is such a pleasure to see the real magic of artistic technique shining through: the more discipline and the more confident control, the greater the freedom to say whatever your medium can express. So far I have avoided wet media because I haven't ever felt I could keep control of it. But I'm starting to feel more inclined to play around and let things just fall out the way they want to. Mix media up and see what it all does? Why not? Thanks for that especially.

    Thank you for your tutorials! Could you please do one on painting flowers or something for mothers' day please? ❤

    Absolutely lovely. I have so much trouble blending with all mediums, but I'll certainly try harder. 😃

    Great tutorial! Anyone have a good tip on where to buy Zest-It Pencil Blend? Jackson’s in the UK has been sold out for months. And I haven’t seen it in the US (Blick, Jerry’s, Amazon or Etsy).
  • Nice work. I love mixed media for realism too. I wonder don't you want to diminish that grainy outlook some more. I think some less famous but a bit harder/sharper CPs would be better for your shading .. at least darker layers, brighter layers are good to be softer CPs. And definitely on less textured paper.

    Hello 🤗, are the markers you used waterbased or are those alcohol markers? And does it make a difference in how you would go over the marker with pencil whether it was waterbased or alcohol based? Thank you 😊. Gerda
