This is stunning, Carl! (I think the plain sketch is better than the coloured version, though…) Are you going to be doing more drawing?

Thanks. Yes pencil sketch better. Think I will work on Van Gogh reproductions in colored pencil for a while. Will value your opinion when I post. Regards.

Oops… I initially typed “You should try” then changed it to a question “Have you tried” but forgot to delete the work “should” . And I made a typo with watercolours. The keyboard should’ve known what I meant…

I’ve done oils. I think about 20 hours of pro lessons would help. I think water colors are the hardest of all. I was good at copy as a child. I used to make money forging teacher and/or parent signatures on documents for school mates.

Nice job. I used to copy art all the time. It really helped me get better. This one looks hard, though. I used to just copy video game concept art. It wasn’t too hard because the lines were very clear.

Long time since I’ve done anything but cartoons and poster art – gotta get back to new things and relearning technique of old things. Need to pick up my wood carving knives again too. Been focusing on grandchildren’s school projects art. I am the best with markers, scissors, glue , cardboard and paint. Note I follow my own advice. Happy 24th Wedding Anniversary. Blessings.
