I'll cooperate!<br />Thanks....Cant wait to see what you do with this medium. For me its a bit like giant finger painting becasue half the time I abandon my tools and just get my hands into it....Jeanne-ming Brantinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289074358298750184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288353867403462323.post-5819685846434036512009-07-14T08:13:52.944-07:002009-07-14T08:13:52.944-07:00It's wonderful!

Wow, thanks for reading every day!<br /><br />Jeanne, Nice to hear I can inspire someone. :)<br /><br />Thanks Tatting Chic, thanks for saying my little writings are hilarious. I'm always giggling to myself when I am writing in my head, but not sure everyone gets me. <br />Suzi, Thank you, you are sweet to notice her expression.<br /><br />Jeanne-Ming,<br />Wow, thank you for your generous sharing of your process! I am in awe, and must try that soon. It does sound like fun. I paint on hardboard usually, on boards I cradle myself. Do you paint on thick wood or masonite/hardboard?Julie Fillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00463883749950958520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288353867403462323.post-7233274877069034042009-07-13T14:25:35.249-07:002009-07-13T14:25:35.249-07:00Ahh Julie...my secret...i will tell you!

When I am satisfied that the basic line drawing is good, I prime it very loosely so the high points take the primer but the low points don't. Then I stain the whole thing and suddenly it is magic, the picture appears. Then I layer and glaze with acryics until I block in the basic painting. The last step is the faces and those I do in oil pastels.....then varnish.....now you have my secret. It's fun. Glad you like them.Jeanne-ming Brantinghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289074358298750184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288353867403462323.post-18188263723705786412009-07-13T05:00:01.416-07:002009-07-13T05:00:01.416-07:00I just love it and her expression!I just love it and her expression!suzi whitakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897178441337986101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5288353867403462323.post-46604508527323350022009-07-13T00:23:34.171-07:002009-07-13T00:23:34.171-07:00Julie, WOW, I love your prints!
