I’m typing up a tutorial this week and hope to have it posted by Saturday or Sunday.

Let me know what you think… And try to remember I have a fragile ego. :D

This is amazing, Steve. I thought the Hawk sketch method was exceptional; this is better.

Come on with the tutorial... can't wait.

I like it!

that's a fine watercolor steve. do you do any other kind?

however, i spent a full minute peeping and squinting at your avatar with a head full of question marks, thinking i was seeing? i don't know. is it two heads in profile or is it a vase? finally the obvious revealed itself:D

Trimoon, I just went to your web page and I am bowled over by your talent and skill! Won't you please write the tutorial for the blue heron and cardinal and (if I may be so bold to request another tutorial) could you write a tutorial on how you aged the revolutionary painting?

These are all great. Now, quit tantalizing us and get that tut up! :D

Very nice technique. I'll have to try it sometime!
