I'm in my late 60's. I was a professional singer for years and now I produce big band jazz in Las Vegas. I started watercolor painting a couple of years ago for the first time, attempting to be an artist. I love it and read a lot about it but never find time to actually sit down and do it. I recently purchased for myself some watercolor pencils and I am now going to attempt that.
Thanks to this site, I have now been turned onto Prismacolor pencils and I am now enjoying daily working on drawing and color pencil technique. I have recently taken up graphite drawing as well and now that I know about different graphite pencils, I'm stoked. I'm sorry I didn't take up art years and years ago.
I raised 5 daughters. My husband and I moved here in 1994 and don't really like it here but can't afford to move. We have a large collection of cactus and two fish ponds, two cats, two dogs, two birds and two aquariums. Good things come in pairs... and the yard is full of flowers and all things green.... We are retired from the work force but still stay very involved with music.
I am happy to find this site and have subscribed to it now for one year. Maybe now I can paint...
