I think one is Claudy, the other one I'm not sure - is she Ta-dah? You aren't so bad, look on a GCC drawn by me - this is so tragic!:D

I love you Rozalka!! Lol yes Ta-dah and Cloudy, I want to add them all, maybe sitting on a branch, lol I'm not even sure I can paint a branch!
I love your drawing of GCC, tragically we are not all artists, but we can have fun trying! Don't stop drawing, playing with color is fun! We don't have to do fine art we can do " folk art" ;)

lol, I drew this when I was at primary school:D Many of my drawings were ok before coloring but after always were "destroyed":eek: After stop doing this in some moments when I didn't really know what to do, I was trying again with the same final - it's bad. I generally was drawing with some informations from Internet (In this drawing is a signature "Green-cheeked conure"). I decided to make a decision to go the way of writing infos not drawing. Firstly I didn't know how and since April I sometimes edit (Polish) Wikipedia. Recently I took a breake 'cause I don't really have time and I probanly won't have quickly

Wow these are all so pretty! I always wish I could paint, I've been thinking of practicing with watercolors as acrylics and I do not get along xD

Congratulations, Laura, you ARE an artist. Those images are so jaunty and full of life, not to mention the soulful eyes. I love them. And I bet I join the other artists here is saying that we're honored to have given you a little boost towards picking up the... pastels... brushes..." Tell us more about your techniques.

Roz, your bird is precious! Look at the coy little face and sorta shrouded little eye.
Flirty.

I am so thrilled that you're sharing.

I have been a well known Painter over a very longtime. I have numerous masterpieces of size and grander. I have long worked with and enjoy mono paintings and commonly work with full walls as my base. My favorite tools are wedge brushes for cut in work and 12" mat rollers in water based semi-gloss paints. :D
Yaaa, beyond stick drawings that's the limits of my abilities!
Love your art!!!

I also would love to be a better artist! I can sometimes produce something that’s not too bad, and other times it’s like a 5yr Old’s art haha.

Here are a few I’ve done in the past few months which weren’t too awful.

And my first time doing acrylic which wasn’t great but could have been worse..

:D My works are featured in several grand homes from the 1890 on wards to the mid-1920. Near every room in each of those homes featured four walls and the ceiling of my works! Of late, I have been working with newer homes as I have found that living on a single floor is much easier on the knees! :D

FYI: My works are designed to enhance the works of others by providing stunning backdrops to true works of art as seen in the above Posts!!!

Took me a second. But then I recognized the tool list ;) My dad is a paint contractor too.

The key to being an artist is making art! The more you make the better you get. Clearly you’re an artist already! :)

I'm just gonna say that that is amazing. A can't even use paints at all, though I can colour okay stuff with colour pencils but that's it.​

I also would love to be a better artist! I can sometimes produce something that’s not too bad, and other times it’s like a 5yr Old’s art haha.

Those paintings are beautiful! A LOT better than anything I can paint.​
