It was a while ago that I did the cradle and my memory is not what it was but I think it was probably a couple of sessions ... maybe 4/5 hours in total.John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-86863309551761965792011-02-08T16:13:21.487+00:002011-02-08T16:13:21.487+00:00I agree with Barbra - OUTSTANDING!!!

Your concept of dark to show light is someting I try to get across to anyone attempting pencil . <br /> Like you, I'm better with pencil in my hand but keep torturing myself in trying to better myself with watercolor .. Your watercolors are soft, and oh so 'English' and better than that I can see your 'style' . I would know your paintings in a heartbeat.. !Barbra Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263982645593300365noreply@blogger.com
