I'll start at the very beginning. A new blog for my arts and crafts stuff. Nobody I know in the real world is reading this yet so I don't have to feel embarrassed about anything, and maybe I'll be able to find some constructive criticism about my pictures along the way.
I used to love drawing and painting as a child but somewhere along the way became stifled -- told off once too often by school teachers for spending too long on presentation or for being too prissy -- or maybe it was just the normal self-consciousness of teenage years that put me off. Either way, here I am in my mid-30s with no idea about different types of paints, I don't know a 2B pencil from an HB and I haven't done much creative for well over half my lifetime.
So it's back to the beginning. Hopefully a very good place to start but as yet, still not sure where I'm going. Help me find my feet?
Here's page 1 of my new sketch book -- done with a cheap watercolour set that I took on holiday to Corfu with me a couple of weeks ago. It's called "Villa Sotiris / by the pool". How does it look?

very nice, I am new to watercolor I just finished classes so I am still working on it. This was a good job for a first painting
I think it's fantastic! And a great start to your blog, too! Many of us are new to art, so don't let that worry you one minute. I joined edm to learn, receive encouragement, and give encouragement.
So welcome to EDM!!!
