The tutor listings are free there and the tutor keeps 100% of what the student pays.

In some ways it is a struggle and I am never quite sure how they will turn out. More often than not they work out OK. When I am not sure how to proceed I start out with small, strokes and slowly build it up. We'll see how it works here.D.

Maybe it's actually kind of relaxing, once you get the repetitive patterns going? You must have to be careful though about the lights and darks so it retains some larger shapes and doesn't all become mush. Look forward to seeing this one progress!Mark Alan Meaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15872333914832970392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8499585530651690679.post-7284185633947394382009-02-14T17:01:00.000-08:002009-02-14T17:01:00.000-08:00Thanks Sharkbytes...Thanks Sharkbytes...D.
