One that will be all digital and the other a traditional paint and collage. This helped me so much. i don't think myself as one who has arrived in doing children's books. I am still learning and growing. I watched your fabulous videos over and over and over again. They have brought such wisdom and comfort to me. Thanks so much for sharing your amazing process. I so appreciate you sharing your wonderful world and work. I will be back again.<br />Best,<br />VanessaVanessa Brantley Newtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103644990786273164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-10766160729014673602009-09-17T08:44:24.467+01:002009-09-17T08:44:24.467+01:00Ha ha - I like that!

How smart! <br /><br />I love the richness and smooth color transitions pastels afford, but leaning more toward line in my work vs. form, I've never excelled at them. They just make me crazy (and an absolute mess!).traylorillohttp://www.traylorillo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-63009480130158765372009-09-16T15:16:02.976+01:002009-09-16T15:16:02.976+01:00Thank you.

How on earth do you get such a level of detail with pastels? <br />I enjoy seeing the pictures of your workspace. I like how you work with several spreads up. Is the primary reason for that to maintain color accuracy and flow throughout the book? <br />I love the image of the family cat, especially the one in the spread where he's casually bathing. Having two fat, fluffy felines myself, it's a familiar scene.traylorillohttp://www.traylorillo.comnoreply@blogger.com
