The stress I have been going through made me unknowingly clench my teeth, resulting in lots of damage - all on one side. I could not afford the dentist here and nearly had a heart attack at the quoted estimate. Going to Mexico will have saved me over 6 thousand buckeroos!juliefordoliver.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186754679744000743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203287968430038256.post-29125020741740382242014-04-03T07:21:10.749-06:002014-04-03T07:21:10.749-06:00I think the reason they may look rich is because I...I think the reason they may look rich is because I layer. I start off with very light values and keep adding to get the richness. My goal is to have my watercolor an oil paintings to have a similar appearance so you can see it is a Julie painting.<br />You have a lovely glow and flow to your watercolors.

It passes the time like nothing else.<br />My set-up for the car starts with one of those trays with a cushion attached underneath. It really adds stability.
