Isn't she the woman who plays Doctor Strange's teacher in the movie of the same name? The bald woman who allow reappears in Endgame and talks to the Hulk?

If the progress was quick, we wouldn't appreciate it as much! Also, I had thought about going the 'quick and easy' route, but decided it was more worthwhile to really learn what I could. I hope that in the end my decision will make me better for it! XD
Yeah, I've deleted a lot of my earlier stuff in my gallery...I know how you feel about facing your earlier work, but also, it feels good to know you are moving forward at the same time. I keep thinking if only I grasped some of these concepts sooner!

I am glad I went the painful route to get all the mistakes out of the way first. Better to look like a n00b in the beginning than to be all over the place when you do try to start working 100% on your own! Oh yes, I am busy drawing and learning watercolors, just nothing truly worthy of submitting yet since they are practices. A few pieces will be ready for sharing soon though, but they are all needing a little more time before that will happen. XD

No, they are all interchangable! And I do feel a bit inexperienced and new even though I've been at it a year. Maybe in another year I'll fell like I hit amatuer level, but I do appreciate the compliment! XD
Ah, watercolors. I have a love hate relationship with them. I'd like to love them, but they hate me, though I am starting to get the hang of it a little better after a month-woot! I am painting different things. I practice with landscapes since I feel it is my strong suit. I am doing nature studies out in my yard. It is great! I am working up the courage to try to paint horses since they are my neighbors. Of course, I've been excited since I found an owl in the neighborhood and we have plenty of hawks, so maybe I'll start small first! XD I also do designs, as in prints which are influenced by textiles and architectural designs I saw when I visited India. Also, playing around with some mendhi patterns since I find it relaxing and flowing-it is a good warmup for both my fingers and my mind since I keep it very loose and make everything work off of something else. I'll post some works that I finish, but that is the trouble, watercolors take patience and drying time...but I don't mind, I have patience apparently. Who knew?

Oh, I see. So even Urban dictionary is not absolutely right. Poor me, poor me...^^
Oh, that's really wonderful! Painting in nature and painting nature is soooo great! Don't be afraid of horses - they're not biting! XD And I'm really interested in those designs and patterns you do - perhaps because I intensively loved Indian culture one time and that admiration for their original art hasn't completely left me yet. I'll be definitely excited to see it when you post it.
Yeah - watercolours and patience. Maybe that's why I was such a looser with it(: .

I promise to share the designs then! XD Ah, I just suck with freehand drawing animals. I can rock inanimate objects, but people and animals pwn me. Also, you need some preplanning to paint watercolors and I always think of adding those things in the middle of it all which isn't possible. I will just have to take a picture of the horse running around (they barrel race at sunset) and make do with a photo reference. I'll still paint it outside, but the phot will at least stay still for me! XD

Yes pleaaase!(: That's the cliché thing - but of course you'll get better at that planning after you gain more experience. Practise, practise, practise - and I won't have any time until next summer - damn it! Grrrrr...... /: Yeah, horses don't like silent and still standing, that I know very well...XD I think that's a good idea - and it would be a life drawing anyway! XD

That is OK, you are trying to give me a chance to catch up to your skill level! That is so thoughtful of you! Of course I would need more time, but thanks anyway!

Awww, it is ok, you get the last laugh because currently I am sucking it up and will never catch up to you! XD

OK, as you wish. This is not normal. I'll find some recipe simple enough even for me and bake you some cookies.....you definitely need some cookies.....XD

You know how it is with us artists...ride a high one day, and down in the dumps the next! Such a rollercoaster ride, but it is a lot of fun!
Cookies, I have so many! Come here and eat some with me! I have tea, coffee and good ole milk to go along with them! Hurry!

Yeah. Artists are special. Always the rollercoaster.....pheeew. Moreover without cookies. I guess I missed the opportunity - though I'll think of you when I'll buy some tomorrow! ^^

Oh, thank you - though....eeee....I wish I could tell it was some sort of my brilliant idea, but it was so in the original photo I used as the reference.^^
