Thank you, @Zoie! If you go up to Community above, you’ll find ‘Art Forums’ in the drop-down menu. There are lots of conversations and various kinds of information. The forums used to be quite active, but people have seemed to drop away from them. It would be nice to see them used again.

Without knowing what your level of artistic knowledge is, what you are willing to spend and what brands are available where you live, it’s difficult to give one specific brand.
Three brands that I know are good and widely available are:
Winsor & Newton
Sennelier
White Nights/St Petersburg/Yarka (paints from the same company)
Of these three,…[Read more]

Brilliant painting, Sandra. A Scottish adventurer, cycled the whole of the route, and climbed Denali and Aconcagua on the way. He did it in 268 days. Amazing book and TV series about it.

Many thanks, Gary! I never know what to think of people who do things like that – brave souls or just insane. I suppose they need a good measure of both to embark and complete such adventures.

#DoodlewashJanuary2021 Prompt: Small. Did you know that the Baluchistan Pygmy Jerboa is the smallest rodent in the world? Weighing in around 3.75 g (0.132 oz), they look like a cross between a mouse and a kangaroo! I didn’t have a good reference photo, so it was cobbled from several different photos. It’s harder to get detail and shading correct,…[Read more]

It\'s harder to get detail and shading correct, so a simpler more cartoony technique works well. It\'s faster, too!

#DoodlewashJanuary2021 Prompt: Egg. Did you know that you can often tell whether a hen will lay white or brown eggs by the color of her earlobes? There are exceptions, but usually white earlobes mean white eggs while red or brown earlobes indicate brown eggs.

Nice art work. Didn’t know the facts about brown eggs. Do brown eggs produce chickens to lay brown eggs?
-
That’s a good question, Everett! Earlobe color is breed specific, so the answer would be yes.

This is so beautiful SAndra.
