Hi Candi, I had to give a bit of thought as to the best way to do the dandelions. I am happy with the way the work came out.. thanks for your comment, greatly appreciated. Chuck :) XX
Candi, I have been using just Walnut Oil that you buy at the store. I am about to order online the medium recommended for the Cobra WS Oil paints just to see what kind of job they do.
Thank you for your lovely comment on my painting Sydney's Rose. My last painting I did in a more direct way, no underpainting. Did you see that one with the crystal and eggs? I have a 5 part video on that one. The last 3 of them shows really close up me painting. They are on my Roena King Artist YouTube channel. Roena
Thanks, Candi - it's a pleasure to exchange ideas on this interesting journey!

Hi Candi, Thank you!! My wife is a breast cancer survivor and she wrote the poem that goes along with the roses I send. So glad you got the scor-pal and the stuff from Clear Bags.. Big money savings there too.. Sometime order a few of their double mats for a trial.. Chuck :) XX
Hi Candi, Thank you, "Bella" was a real project, a lot of different shadows and coloring.. but I'm pleased. Gentleman is coming by this afternoon to pick it up. I hope he's pleased with it also.. Chuck :) XX
Hi Candi, I did a pet portrait for a lady in Virginia who had lost her 16+yr old corgi. When she got the piece she wrote me thanking me and said she saw it and cried for two days.. Chuck :) XX
Candi, you are right, Peru is a developing country with rich history and culture. I am so happy to know that you joined the workshops of plein air. I checked the photos of your teacher Saim. Very beautiful. I am sure that you will improve a lot through the time. Keep on working hard even you are a talented girl. Waiting to see more from you.
Candi, thank you for your invitation. I am very happy to be your friend. About plein air, I do not have a lot of experiences. The demo of Richard showed the procedure of it. It is very helpful. If the weather is so hot, please keep yourself safe inside. Maybe, you can practise wet on wet. Then when the weather is cooling down , you can go out to paint plein air. As you know how to paint wet on wet, you will be more selfconfident paint on site. Am I right?
I am living in the city of Lima, at coastal area. The highest tempreture is90, lowest34. humidity 75% to 100%. That means sometimes we are just like a fish living in a satuated water air. Interesting, isn't it.
Hi Candi, thank you I would like to send an e-mail with some of my watercolors attached for you to look at. Would like your opinion too. My e-mail address is watersystems@yahoo.com. If you want send a note and I will reply with an e-mail with photos attached. As for scratch art, it's sort of time consuming, but you can really achieve great detail. Especially the eyes and fur. I find feathers a bit harder. I'm going to teach a class in scratch art this coming Thursday to a group of 6-8 people over in Pinetop/Lakeside, AZ. I am going to have them do a rooster, if I send you photos I will include the rooster. It's a 3 hour course and gives them basic tool handling.
You asked about time. The first ones took more time, 5"x7" would take 16 to 18 hours, but remember I had never done scratch before, now the 5"x7" take 10 to 12 hours. My 8"x10" works take 15-18 hours. Remember, I scratch the entire work and them apply a watercolor wash, let day and scratch again. Do this process 3-4 times.. finally I spray with a protective coat of polyurethane glossy, before matting. Are you interested in doing some scratch art? Chuck :) xx
Hello Candi, Thank you, for your nice comment on my quail.. I am going to get back to doing some watercolors again. Hard to believe I've not painted watercolors since last August. that's almost a year.. phew time flies..
There are quite a few nice desert scenes to paint in Cruses and the surrounding area. There are a lot of old building in and around the Mesilla Valley area.
Hi Candi, I love your paintings! I haven't done any for a while because I have had a sick husband but I am back now and able to join in. Ngaire is a Maori name (native to New Zealand) I think it means muddy water??? :)

Candi, I only today saw the friend's request. I would have accepted immediately had I seen it.

That's the best of all worlds, Candi, you have the Irish charm, the German discipline and the Italian food!!!!
