This is my first attempt at painting. Please be my critics. I checked the preview and it doesn't show the whole picture.

That's nice, Smokey - are you learning from a book or tv... or taking a class? I have tried that style of painting using some books... I also took a class which was fun and helpful.

I first saw it on TV. Then I purchased Packs of pages with the instructions. I haven't ever tried any thing like this before. It is so much fun!For some reason this pic is a little blury.

Those look kind of like the Donna Dewberry techniques. I have a couple of her books, available for a minimum price!! Looks like you are doing very well.

Yes, I'd say you could be selling your pictures in no time. They're very nice!

I know this is kind of an old thread, but I am just beginnng to teach myself Donna Dewberry's One-Stroke method. Of course, I've only begun to practice and my "petals" are nearly like that, Smokey!

Um Meezersfive, you still have those books? :D
