Anytime anyone tried to convince me to do people I just shrugged them off saying "Naw - They don't have enough fur or feathers." They would laugh and drop it at that point. I also did not accept commission work because my best paintings were portrayals of things that I was passionate about - not someone's pekinese. Unless it was a wild critter, I wouldn't paint it; and I did well enough financially by painting what I wanted to feel free to turn down offers.
Okay - you asked for it! Your pastels are lovely! They reflect your love of horses perfectly. Your proportion is good - That's what most people mess up on when depicting animals. My favorite is the third one in from the left (top row), and I believe it's because the color is more saturated than the others. Since I've never worked with pastels, I have no idea how difficult it is to get good, strong coloration.
There are two things that strike me as a bit off. Number one is that I can tell that you have no interest in spending much time doing backgrounds. I can relate - lol. But a good subject needs care on the backgrounds as well. They don't need to be detailed. Try taking photos of a focused subject where the background is somewhat blurred. You can always do something like that for a background that complements your subject. A darker background for a light subject and a lighter background for a dark subject. I always start painting what is farthest away and work my way forward while blending, taking care that my subject doesn't look "cut and pasted" onto the background.
Number two is subject "depth". Many folks make the mistake of thinking that all shadows are black. You didn't, as I can see on the man's shirt. Inner folds are a deeper blue than the outer folds. So - You're one step ahead already. But I think that you could use more shadowing and highlights, and more saturation and contrast in general. Just my
Hope someone answers with a solution. I broke out a new white battery a few days ago and noticed how dingy my old one had gotten. Tried wiping it with alcohol and a few other things but it stayed about the same. I'm still using my originals and working them hard since about August with no drop in performance so I'd like to get it back to white. I guess oil and sweat from my hands is probably the culprit. I didn'dt realize it until I saw a new one lol. Kinda looks like a smoke stained white object. Just dingy.
Am I missing it or are the gold volts not up?batteries and pcc's restocked on the site
trial packs also on the site
I think they are called copper gold
I got two new blank cartos in the mail to you today

I will be careful and try a SI carto
I really would like these to work for me... allergy aside I'm not adverse to a carto..Well see and thanks hun...
If all else fails to clean the battery, you could either get a battery in a color that matches the marks or get one of the snazzy covers for the one that's all marked up. DM designed some neat sleeves for batteries that SI now sells.
Same here. The album could be private or just the wrong link.
Good morning everyone! 
Sandy, since I can't even draw a decent stickman, I was impressed with your drawings! Good luck to you.
I enjoyed the recipe section.
Maybe when SI gets their own nitch we could have a recipe thread and get all our health issues in order!
Imagine, when are the 30ml refill liquids due in? My neighbor ordered the starter kit (yay!) during the sale but is waiting for the higher mg in Cowboy. ty

I asked Imagine about this awhile back, and she said that it was just a snaffu on the website - that copper and gold are different colors, and that the one that is up now is actually copper. Hope that hasn't changed ....
I personally don't have a white battery, so I haven't tried this: Anyone try using a Magic Eraser?
I can see them. What medium are you working with Tamara? I'm in the midst of canning, but I WILL work on a critique for you.
Sometimes lysol disinfectant spray will work, but I don't know about rubbery surrface (found out accidentally once)
