Tracing is a good way to train your eye to see more detail and learn proportion thus improving your freehand skills. I was horrible at drawing birds freehand up until a few years ago when I started tracing (or using the grid transfer method). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestranger Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) MJ's seven year old granddaughter gave this to MJ today for her birthday tomorrow. Talented young girl that knows how much MJ enjoys the birds, which put a big birthday smile on her face.

DLecy Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 It's been awhile since I picked up the watercolors. I made it a point to give away most of my paintings and these were a few of my first. Gotta get back into it one of these days. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
