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.

Yeah, some papers are just ornery and rude with watercolors. (Helle suggested gesso: I'd never heard of that---unless she was kidding. Hey, anything that improves the surface.) Well, despite the tough surface, you still got another typically expressive ensemble piece, with your signature quick feature lines, and a feeling that these faces sprouted into existence as much as grew. The yellows are fine contrast to those reddish browns (and pinks and blues). I love the frame too, it makes this a portrait. You transcended the wash-problem with your unerring sense of character, expression and simplicity. Another fine piece.
