    Love ‘em love ’em love ’em!!!! Don’t you just ADORE that burgundy paper? It really is making your birdies ‘sing’. I haven’t heard of Mount Vision pastels before. Description required please! LOL! Are they reelly reelly soft? Do they blend noicely? You must be very happy with this Julie. It is fantastic. You have caught the movement of the dust bathing birds beautifully.

  • Thanks so much Lynda – I have been doing a lot of ground work (practice practice practice) also was lucky enough to attend a Tim Miller workshop in Launceston – all about light and colour.

    I was a very lucky girl and got the full set for Xmas. About the same as Art Spectrum in character.
