Hello from Canada
Geed Evening Everyone, forgive me for not introducing myself earlier, but I am a little computer slow, and took me till almost this evening to "get" postings and threads, nto to mention navigating around this big huge place. <smiles> I am located in BC, Canada, on an island, in a town called Campbell River. I have 3 autistic children, all under the age of 5, my forte is celtic soapstone carvings as well as some celtic style art, along teh lines of fantasy. I absolutely adore painting and drawing as it is my wind down time, and my sanity, like most peopel who love the pencil/paint/mediums I keep odd hours, sometimes up to 10 hours in front of a painting, hence the airbrush, I received one for xmas, in hopes to speed up my process <smiles> but I am hesitant in this new area. How do you all select your pciture? I notice some fantastic peices on gas tanks, cars, and other areas, how can you not break out in a sweat for something so permanent, and what if no one likes it? Do you repaint over them? Everyone here has exceptional talents, and very good eye for detail, I use the grid system to enlarge a drawing, I use a ruler, and make ice cube boxes then number, but erasing all the lines takes forever, but some of you I am green with envy at your enlarging abilities, I am a cat woman, love tigers, lions, jaguars, its the eyes, I just love the glossiness, I am trying to select my first person to airbrush, and think the greys, blacks and blues would be a good choice of shading and toning as flesh color would be to daunting and a task indeed, how do you all who do portraits find the subject, is it by color, pose, light? Anyways I am babbling on, time for me to get on to bed, and bath and then lay awake till 4 am thinking of new pictures, lol <waves goodnight>
