Looks just great! :-)
Your drawing is just wonderful! So detailed. Wish I could watch the process as you paint it. Better still, wish I could do something like this!
I love seeing the step-by-step progress as you work on a painting. It's just fascinating to me. Thank you for sharing the painting as it is created.
That's the paper we used in my watercolor class last semester. It's absolutely wonderful.
It's going to be fabulous in big!
This is lovely. Can't wait to see it progress.
I love it!!
Hey! I really like your beautiful birds! Two questions for you: Do you use frisket or masking fluid on the edges of your birds? and Do you find that the paper buckles more with the very large size?
Wow, its beautiful and I love seeing your process! I'm excited to see this develop, please keep us posted :)
Turbo looks really interested.... now if you said'walk' he'd be up like a shot!!!! loving the drawing/painting. hugsxx
ythersBest artist needs best paper!
Beautiful! I've been looking for a watercolor set like this one. What brand is that?
I can't wait to see the finished product!
Good to see Turbo is doing his daily doguing exercises!

Geninne, Arches is just a wonderful fine art paper product. You won't go back to anything inferior.
great to see your work still shining.
Those lines and colors... beautiful!
I agree - beautiful line work and the yellowey colour is devine!
Really beautiful - and very steady hand! xxx

Oops had some typos in that last one:) This is soooo beautiful! It is luxurious ... I use Arches and love the weight of it and durability. I like the blocks. I think it's made of cotton rag so is actually a fabric ... which is kind of amazing. The yellow and grayish green on this bird are so harmonious. Love your attention to detail!
Hi, precioso! tengo que recuperar mi caja de acuarelas, eres todo inspiración !!!
Bye
Wow !! That's HUGE !! I wonder how you drew so perfectly - with all the details... Amazing - :) I really admire you more each day !! :)
I love your drawings, really great!
Beautiful..... also love seeing your paints and the darling Turbo in your photos!
it looks so cheerful and warm already
can you ask that birdie to bring some warm rays of sunshine this way
Es increible a luz que tienen siempre estos pájaros en sus ojos ¿cómo lo haces?
It is a great paper isn't it Geninne, I have used it for years and it is probably the only one that can stand up to the abuse I put paper through. The 300lb (640grs) hot press is the one I use. I get it from Daniel Smith and it is much less expensive there.
your painting is going to be wonderful.
cheers and hello from Burgess, by the way he tried to bath in a glass of milk the other day, too funny.
I love Arches paper, my Grandma introduced me to it recently. It is quite pricey in Australia, but so worth it!
oh yes- what is that paint set? i have yet to find one like this and I can't make out the brand...
What a beauty! Look forward to seeing it all finished :)
I use Arches paper for professional paintings. Its so awesome, consistent and reliable.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!
Me encanta!
...y no esta ni siquiera acabado.
How amazing!!! This is so beautiful!
Your shading is so divine.
ah i finally made out the watercolour brand, its schmincke's isn't it.Lovely works!
I just found your blog and wanted to say that your works are gorgeous! I love your style! Definitely following you :)
Have a wonderful day!
