I am finding that I do best working on several pieces at a time. I like the casein, but it is a challenge to work with. I need to go more slowly I think, keeping it in the background only. It’s easy to get carried away with paint! I had no idea that would happen.

Almost finished: Iris 5″ x 7″ watercolor, colored pencil and graphite

This one is casein and colored pencil…I think that I should have done the bee in pencil, but I couldn’t help myself and put the base in with paint. I may have to start it over, we will see.
