It's very good for color exercises<br />Be patient with yourself and BRAVO! for trying it out<br />You'll get it. <br />I promise :)<br />cheers CarolgParisbreakfastshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558314043814894010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-42229507251843007012012-09-08T17:40:44.717-04:002012-09-08T17:40:44.717-04:00Wish you were here, to help me do my blobbing !! ...Wish you were here, to help me do my blobbing !! <br />what a mess mine are !!<br />It's either too much water so it looks like muddy rainbow coloured cauliflowers, or not enough & the colours are too vibrant !!
