Thank you, Sharon.
Sleep every night from 10PM to 4 or 5 AM.
Besides art, my hobby is community service.

More hibiscus practice. I used watercolor pencil to colorize these sketches (made with my 6-dot format).
I want to use the colorizing technique with my senior citizens class next week.

Nice the way you had the colour to the sketches. It make the painting richer.
You get up at 4 or 5 am??? You must use those 2-3h extra hours (while most of us sleep) to good use.

Thanks, Trev. I like making people happy.
Yes, annie, I do all my Paintbasket replies first thing in the morning. Then I exercise on my trampoline in my carport. Go for a walk with a neighbor. Handle some financial stuff. Read the newspaper and do the crossword puzzles.

I have another senior citizen art class today. They want to draw a hibiscus, so I am all prepared.
Details
I drew the outline shape quite dark to help them see it better, but will instruct them to make their lines quite light so as not to look like "coloring book" work.
The big surprise will be when I hand them the watercolor pencils and they get to colorize them.
I am excited. Will post the results later today.

Thanks, Val, Win, and KathyS. Yes, FUN is the word. They are so eager to learn.
One little lady showed me her "homework" and it was fantastic. She is so excited that she can draw. She never knew she could!
One gentleman (very successful retired hospital administrator) was dumbfounded by what he had done. Says a whole new world will open up for him now.
I'm sure I can recruit a few for Paintbasket, but many are not computer literate.
