    I make them and hide them in books at the library for people to find. I also write an inspirational quote on the back. Yours are lovely and I loved your clear explanation of what you were doing and why. Very helpful.

      @MelindaHowardArt  3 года назад +1

      Thank you for the comment and for watching my video. I hope you learned something that will help on your art journey!!! 🥰 NOTE: I think it’s a myth that you have to have “natural talent”. Most artists feel the same way you do. I think that art just takes the desire and learning. Then it comes naturally after a lot of practice. And it sounds like you are definitely on that path! 👍 Just have fun...enjoy the journey!!!

    Thank you Melinda! I was worried about using my micron pens on the cold press paper. I couldn’t find a signo in my stash, so I grabbed a pilot pen and quickly sketched a gerber daisy. Wow, I’m so impressed with the look and feel of the finished daisy. I’ve subscribed. Thank you for sharing!

    • @MelindaHowardArt
      @MelindaHowardArt  Год назад

      Hello, there are several ways to flatten them. I have a video where I show a quick way to flatten them by using a cool iron and covering them with a towel. You can also pre-stretch them by wetting the back and taping them down. Or use a hair dryer to dry them after using a really wet wash. Hope this helps. :-)
