You are so right about pa...G'day Jean, from Oz,<br />You are so right about painting subjects you have personally photographed and experienced in their own environment. Lacey, Jack(mum's dog), Tika(cousin's old beautiful Border Collie, 16 years and still breaks into an occasional trot), and I followed mum's chooks around the orchard and took a few happy snaps after observing their antics. Your terrific demo on your DVD inspired me to attempt to paint one or two of these characters. But I didn't have the pigment you used for the eye(quinacridone purple?) with indigo. Is there a substitute for that particular pigment that you would recommend, as it is very hard to acquire such pigments out here in (almost) outback Australia?<br /><br />Love your blog, always interesting.<br />Many thanks, Mike and his painting companion, Lacey.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02085501925776767124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195072925691815944.post-86734736070708752362010-04-27T02:44:07.256-07:002010-04-27T02:44:07.256-07:00Hello Merna, I hope you have a great time painting...Hello Merna, I hope you have a great time painting the chickens,their poses fascinate me and I find myself lost just watching them as they move.

They move a lot so that will be a challange for me. You encouraged me to try and do it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405743960637164878noreply@blogger.com
