I tried it, Harriet, and I didn't give up 😂. Sometimes, I think, I don't manage, but when I persevere, I manage nevertheless . And it came out beautifully 🐤.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Well done! Never give up but you can always have a break from it

[@malcolmdalrymple1779]

Another one for my granddaughters birthday. Thanks for the idea.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah wonderful Malcolm!

[@barbarabrown6002]

I can’t even imagine having your artistic talent. You make it look so easy.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah Barbara it's just about having a go and enjoying yourself

[@barbarabrown6002]

@@deWintonPaperCo Thank you for your comments. I’m 75, retired, and am very left-brained, and not at all creative, but I decided to learn something new and I really am enjoying the process. But I do so much envy your ability to draw anything and paint so beautifully. Please don’t stop your tutorials. 😊❤️🎨

[@MissDaisyParsley]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I look forward to trying to do this myself sometime!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Yes you must!

[@brendaporter3809]

Love this painting! I’m always curious as to how you get all the pencil marks out. What lead do you use to be able to erase the lines out even after they are painted over? Your work is always so neat and tidy❣️

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I use a graphite hb pencil, nothing special and I just make sure I first draw very lightly and then rub the pencil out at the stage when all the washes are done, before the details

[@tezoodle]

I had the same question, but I was wondering which eraser Harriet uses because none of mine will erase a pencil mark which has been painted over.

[@bavavi18]

Same here too, Terri!

[@amandastockham6918]

Just perfect! Thank you so much for sharing 💙x
