Hi All,
I will never make a bad comment about those of us who dare put whatever to the canvas as I would not be any good. A good painting in a difficult subject, if you are happy with the finished product then that is all that matters.
If you have to be critical about your creation then why not ask an expert ? Keith Woodcock is always happy to give advice in this subject and is easy to contact. keith.woodcock@btinternet.com
