Thank you. Especially enjoyed the way you brightened up your berries.

We may have met at an ASBA conference some years ago.

Hi Louise, yes, give it a whirl. Some people really don’ get on with the approach, others find it much easier than the traditional way of going darker. Hope it works for you, and thanks for the comment! x

I am definitely going to give this technique a whirl in my own paintings.

Dear Jane, Im so glad the tuition I offer is helpful. It’s great to hear that breaking down an illustration into component parts can help de-mystify the process. Thanks, and thankyou for the feedback too.

Ive added you to my newsletter, as requested; thanks for subscribing!
