I could see pluses and minuses in both and it's been really interesting to get a wider perspective on these two works.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-49674336612572152642007-05-20T07:40:00.000+00:002007-05-20T07:40:00.000+00:00I've done it with watercolour and it certainly tau...I've done it with watercolour and it certainly taught me to think long and hard before starting anything. Your figs are beautiful , Katherine and the first would have more than satisified me but the oxide colour really does enrich the second. The reflections are lovely.

The first has such soft ethereal colours and feel to it. I like it a lot. The second is bolder with more distinct colour and contrast which also makes an impact as well.<BR/><BR/>I will check out the site and drool over papers, thanks!Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.com
