Her large washes for backgrounds of course...are from WC. Let us not feel inferior to the amazing <br />productions as it takes time regardless of how one pulls off the magical trick. 'Lots of studying with few interruptions plus huge sums of money for supplies and books. It is best to go slow and learn to paint for your family and friends and for one's own pleasure. Competitive shows are worthless if you go to one outside with tents and lots of sandles and no buyers. I was alerted to the <br />waste of time, years ago by a famous artist who put the show together for our summer festival. Thanking God I spent more time on painting for fun and for progress on my own after years of classes and frustration. I'm a happy and fulfulled painter in all media.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893909553937403783.post-78231698524823911862011-03-30T16:06:57.405+01:002011-03-30T16:06:57.405+01:00Hi Becky, thank you for stopping by.

She has similar exciting and free abstracted florals, landscapes, still life, animals and many other subjects. Check out her newest book, Watercolor Without Boundaries or any of her DVDs and instructional books. www.karlynholman.com. I love the way they both take a simple subject and abstract them, add bold and wonderful colors and then try it all together with a composition that sings. Simply beautiful.Becky Wygoniknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893909553937403783.post-64714587650400517052011-02-17T12:40:37.621+00:002011-02-17T12:40:37.621+00:00Hi Kelly, I've been dipping in to this book ag...Hi Kelly, I've been dipping in to this book again the last couple of weeks.

I've even looked at them upside-down for further inspiration and a more abstract perspective!Kelly M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07281523503121981821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1893909553937403783.post-44576761826132055272010-09-22T16:02:14.904+01:002010-09-22T16:02:14.904+01:00I agree - both her books are really good and I lov...I agree - both her books are really good and I love her workvivienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16820836660470146799noreply@blogger.com
