Oh my gosh, you're too sweet! When I was younger I played around with watercolors but nothing special ever came from it. I grew up painting in oils and acrylics -- I loved to draw... practically anything. A few years ago I rediscovered my Design Spectracolor colored pencils (discontinued), and found a pet portrait online that moved me to draw him. I was drawing in colored pencils until my mom passed away, and less than a year later it was time for me to get back to art... but I couldn't go back to colored pencils. I've always wanted to try watercolors, but never really thought I would be able to actually create a landscape, let alone a portrait! There are a few watercolor artists I really admire -- their work is more impressionistic than I could ever do myself (I'm way too detail oriented), but I just pick up the brush and start painting away! As in other mediums, there are so many different variations you could achieve with watercolors, so I'm sure you'll soon find your own style! By the way, AMAZING first digital painting! I've 'painted' on my iPhone and iPad, but they're nothing much to talk about. 

Thanks for all your wonderful support! I appreciate it!
