Intro to Landscapes Course

[Val]

Zayn, ta very much. Nice of you to say so.

Ta much Maryna,

Patricia, I have to say this is quite a difference from my recent tree studies. It's almost as if I had forgotten how to sketch! This is just the ticket to get me going again. 

Many thanks Jenny, I'm really looking forward to having a go at the next one.

Val,

Your scribbles look better than some of my "real things."

[Val]

Funny you should say that Mea....      I was getting so put off with myself and my sketching of late. This is going to give me a huge turnabout, and all in a couple of hours alone with Mr. D. !! Who knew? 

[Steven]

It is a tendency I must get control of. I have my outline, all is going along nicely...then this maniac      takes over and I just can't stop!     I sometimes have the same happen when painting. Things just keep getting bigger, and bigger, and BIGGER,  and .....     

  Just a small shrubbery please! (Monty Python fans forgive me) Nice work Val!   

[nolan]

looks great to me too Val, Woody would be proud of you

[Lillian]

Pretty good looking scribbles, Val!   


Sending our brushes and pencils to Dennis and Nolan for re-training?  What a novel idea!

Geez, Val, the dog course has got my pencils 'clicking to go' .... I can hear them rattling in their containers but my big problem for the moment is time management .... so much to do and so little time.  Nevertheless, I am amazed at how fantastic your trees/shading etc. are.  I keep going back and taking another look and another look ....... makes me want to sign up for the course but I have to hold on until I see how the land lies in the New Year.  This business of having to budget makes me sick ..... the joys of being a Pensioner!!!!!    Patricia

[Germa]

Great scribbles Val, looks like you trained your pencils well yourself.

[Val]

  Just a small shrubbery please! (Monty Python fans forgive me) Nice work Val!   

You're forgiven....... 

[Val]

  Ta Nolan.

[Val]

Lillian, believe me there are days!      Thanks much for your comment.

Have got to stop hitting the post before I'm done! 

Patricia I understand. We just have Lloyd's pension to work with, I look at the bright side...I don't have to worry about keeping a budget....you need money to have a budget! 

Thank you Germa... I wish they behaved that well ALL the time! 

[V]

Nicely done  .  Excited to see the next ones.

 Very nice work Val love your trees and I am sure the dogs would like them too can I bring them over for walk in your woods?  Lol.  Well done.  Look forward to seeing more of your work.  Ray

Beautiful pencil work Maryna especially the tree work very realistic like it very much look forward to seeing more of your work it looks like a very good course.  Ray

  Vjah, it is amazing how much we have tucked back in the storerooms of our minds. I guess sometimes it just takes a good prod to clear the cobwebs and suddenly the light breaks through, and all these things we 'used' to know how to do resurface.
I can't wait to see what cobwebs Dennis shakes out in the next lesson!
