My kids are still very young (4,5 and nearly 2) so it is quite a struggle sometimes to keep up with them. I try to do housework during the day and work after they go to bed, so I have for myself 3-4 hours. It is not bad but I would like to do so many things...and this is when the frustration starts. <br /><br />Anyway, I like Trevena style, reminds me of Cezanne's change of perspective and Cubism style as well. I love especially her dynamic, bold washes. I hope one day I will have my own recognizable style. I love watercolor but I know it is difficult, and only regular practice can solve my dilemmas. I am doing some polymer clay work as well and have to divide my time between this two, but is so rewarding to be able to create again! Can't wait to clean my table and start a new one!Magdalenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04929813773523071806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736592941602255090.post-45633122499901715512011-12-31T05:29:21.278-08:002011-12-31T05:29:21.278-08:00I think this will be a wonderful gift. Watercolour...I think this will be a wonderful gift. Watercolour can be infuriating and quite often the mistakes can be the best bits! I can't get to grips with Shirley Trevena, My mind just doesn't accept some of her 'compositions'? I got that book last year. I think it's just best to practice, and do subjects you love if you can, do things you would like to own, I tell myself these things,but my work demands other stuff?? I don't think artists are ever that confident in what they do, it's always a bit of a battle?? Stick at it. My advice on finding the time is to forget the housework, Ha Ha.... or limit the time to do it, and give yourself any time you can save. The dust will always be there!Julie Clay Illustrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921769068494507312noreply@blogger.com
