I did hint rather heavily that this was the sort of present I would like.

I used my watercolour pencils on the paper and then a brush. I then took colour off the tip of the brush , and finally added w/c pencil on the paper for 'detail".alissadukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11150731700494145900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-86976629816686645642012-03-01T17:30:54.571-06:002012-03-01T17:30:54.571-06:00So amazingly lifelike!

I expect all of us on this blog would love that kind of present. I once got a box of rocks from the California coast as a birthday present--free rocks, but the postage to Virginia was astronomical!Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10906087554997612797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4222503441854374850.post-18358430293779911422012-02-29T13:46:51.386-06:002012-02-29T13:46:51.386-06:00Hello Alissa
