ANNE'S WATERCOLOR

Once upon a time (long, long ago) I had a girlfriend who had a talent that I was very unaware of. After a thirty year separation, we reconnected and I now get to enjoy her wonderful art.

ALCOHOL HELPS

...but not the way you might think. I finished a test pastel I've been working on using a technique I saw Australian artist Leesa Padget do on Youtube. Alcohol is used on the pastels in the under painting. I sort of chickened out and didn't go as far as Leesa does, but a good learning experience.
