Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper!
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

I don't remember if you added to this (you posted this a few weeks ago), but I felt, when you posted it, that it was a combo of delicate chinese branch/leaf painting mixed with a free hand painting of a twig that's half decaying. I love the floppy disheveled feeling of the leaves, even though it has delicacy. And your wash models the leaves and stem expressively too. (Another water-brush technique I was never good at: Getting all that modeling with a single turn of the brush; getting dark wash melding with light wash to create a whole contour. The Chinese, Koreans and Japanese have that down pat.) A perfect little vision.
