I am trying not to leave painting for too long should I forget the skills. For me it's learned techniques thus I need to do it often..I will practise either on paper if I have no other surface but it seems to drag whenever I do it on paper.. I still need to have better choices of brushes, loading the brushes with enough paint etc..etc... But anyway.... I will keep on trying... This current attempt is to get a better hydrangeas & leaves..I couldn't forgo the roses still... I havent done anything that actually follow any pattern... I do them free hand to get the techniques rather than the design..so you can see in terms of placement..its neither here no there. I am limited with the products to be painted on...Beside IKEA..I just have to rely whats in the market that I can find...
