Hello, my name is Elaine and I'm a happily retired midwife. I've been interested in art for a number of years and since retiring i have found time to sketch and paint. i really like line and wash and have recently been painting plein air. I'm interested in developing my skills and want to try out gouache.
I also love portrait painting and have worked through 30 portraits in 30 days challenge with various artists from Sktchy. and yes, it was a challenge, phew. Added to that I like oriental style painting and have learnt through youtube tutorials and books. I think I must have a ecletic approach to art because I mixing things up.
