Thanks for bringing some outdoors inside for me @emancherry33

Still stuck indoors, but as it's the weekend I indulged myself in a new Nome painting.



Happy Weekend!

All great art and pics

These are painting by numbers pieces that I am finishing up soon. My sister's partner asked me to do them and they are quite detailed so they've taken me sone time.

This was the first one



And this one I have just completed


I don't have a full picture of the tiger, sorry.

But now you can see why I say you can learn from PBN paintings. The tiger was a bright lemony yellow originally in all the highlights, but you don't have to do everything exactly as they tell you. Adding some earthy yellows made it look so much better.

Love the paintings

These look wonderful @MarieBarl it's tempting me to do some painting by numbers myself!

I have 2 spare copies of the RD complete PBN set. They are probably aimed at older children/young adults but are quite a nice starter set/project pack for anyone who would like to try painting. You just need a little bit of space, a jar of water and a cleaning cloth. Paints, brushes, etc are included

If anyone is interested and has an address they can pick up from or don't mind me knowing- I am happy to pass them on. They are old and a little 'dinged' but have never been used - they were kind gifts but you really need only 1 copy. I don't want any money. 

The pictures are A4 sized so easier to cope with than the 2 above.

I hope this doesn't break any rules.

The gnome looks awesome @MarieBarl As do your PBNs. I like doing them too, and agree it's a good way to learn some skills. I particularly like the tiger one- the orange tone is beautiful!

Thanks everyone who has commented on my recent works, the feedback is appreciated

Great PBN work @MarieBarl ... love the big cats one

One for @Grinchy and SFX

Ever wondered how firemen train for injuries ... they impale young paramedics (she used to make more fuss shaving her legs  )

MarieBarl

Thanks for your kind comments everyone, I have found a whole heap of them I want to tackle now. 

I have also found someone who is willing to help me learn how to do portraits from photographs. That is something I would love to try again,  but feels like it may be too challenging.

I have loved looking  at everyone else's photos and crafting. It's helping to keep my mind off the esa assessment thing on thursday.
