I have a new website that is selling canvas wall art prints. I'm looking for work that would be appropriate for children's rooms - most of them will need some kind of saying, like Be Brave little one, Dream Big little one, Be kind little one, you are loved, etc. I particularly like the idea of little girls and a fairy princess. Do you have any work that would be appropriate for this project? Would you be interested in working on it? If so, please contact me at:jcazzola@att.net or support@wowavenue.com
Hope to hear from you,
Jolene

These are the most beautiful wings I have seen. Good job! Really fascinating. I just want to share with you my thoughts, the arms and legs, are not proportional, what I mean, the upper arm is always longer than the forearm, and that stands for the legs too (thigh and leg). I notice that on some of your painting the forearm is also bigger. I know these are fantasy creatures but I do think you give them human anatomy a little.

So charming 
Lately I started to use watercolours and I have 2 questions:
- when I should use salt to make effect of it visible ? when paper is very wet or when it's almost dry ? I'm trying and trying and cannot achieve it :< My bf is laughing that I use more salt for paintings than he when he is cooking xD
- and second one - You mix skin colour on some plastic palette ? Which colors are best for geting skin colour ? yellows and reds ?
Btw I love Your tutorials - I would never think about sprinkling with water

Thank you so much sweetie
#1 - It depend on the salt effect you want to get. You will get cloudy/vague texture if you add salt when the paper is still very wet, there will be little texture (though not what I ususally do). It is depend on what you want. Best way to experiment a little but if you say it doesn't work let's see where might be a problem.... a) which paper did you use?.. It won't work on ususal printer paper \ school block You will need a better watercolor paper. I must not be very expensive but it should be watercolor paper ( not for mix technique or anything like this)
I use hot press paper of brand Fabriano, their cold press is great too.
b) Maybe you sprinkle salt when paper is already dry?..
I add salt when the paper is still moist ( not wet - you can see it shine a little when you turn it towards the light but water would not run down if you turn it . I hope it makes sense
I use hairdryer because it is usually very cold in my art room and I want to speed the process of 'salted" paper drying
#2 If you saw my tutorials you should know that I achieve skin color in another way, through three way wash, but you can also use burnt siena mixed with little cobalt or ultramarine blue for the basis and then achieve more "alive" look by adding alizarin crimson or any transparent red you might have ( I love crimson lake). Just don't expect to get perfect skin tone in one wash, you will need at least two or three. Don't use opaque paints for mixing skin tone you might end in muddy look. Use transparent and semi-transparent paints. Yes, I mix on usual plastic palette and use synthetic brushes, nothing special
I hope it helps!

Thank You for Your looooomg answer 
I think I add salt when paint is still to wet, or maybe it's just "charm" of this paper 
For now I'm mixing for skin hmm it dosen't have name in englih but it's like ready colour for skin (it's nice for first layer but not good for later shading) with a bit of hmm light magenta - i use it for shading and it looks pretty nice ^^ Tried Your way but hmm I think I did smth wrong cayse it looked weird - must practise more !!
Btw what brand of watercolor You use ?
And once again thank You - You helped me a lot

I know how it is skin is always very difficult part. I know what you mean I had a way back a tube of "skin" beautiful peachy hue but it was semi-transparent and for this I did not like it. You can try to add a little of burnt siena and cobalt blue for second layer and shadows it might work well too.
I use so many different brands ( a collections of what i bought and got as present in the last ten years lol) Important is to buy artists quality not school\hobby paints they are not good.
I can recommend "White Nights" they have VERY affordable price and great quality. I use a lot of them recently. All the basic colors are very good.
In past I used "Schmincke" "Winsor&Newton" have some of them in my palette still but I won't buy them again when I run out of color.
Tried to switch to "Sennelier" last year are very good but price bites and they have a small palette of colors. I have their basics now and all the blues I use recently are from "Senellier" LOVE their cobalt green, all the blues but Opera rose is more like Permanent Mauve so dissappointing... I have not found yet a brand which I think is great... have a mixture of all which work as a team

Yes mostly for deeper shadow I use more burnt sienna added to previously mixed skin color
I got as Christmas present set of 36 colors White Nights and I love it ^^ I had few colors earlier that's why I asked my bf to buy me more
