A/N: The prompt was: Remus, blood, and broken glass. I think I managed them all in a christmas theme. ;)

AWW. Little Remus is ADORABLE. :D


re: watercolors -- have you been using tube paint or paint in pans?

heehee. He might be my fave to draw.

re: watercolor. I've been using the cheapest tube paints. I think my difficulties are equally that 1) I don't know what I'm doing 2) I'm a perfectionist 3) cheap paint? and 4) cheaper brushes.

On the other hand, I really really like pencil. I can take it anywhere, and it generates a whole lot less mess.

Ha!
That ruins my theory, then -- I was actually going to suggest that you use some really cheap paints, because they're usually very watery & actually help novices to get that watercolor look. Hmm!

I don't think you should be discouraged though. I'm really impressed by your painting skills & style.
