So many of these pieces are wonderful, I'm sure you will master edges in short order!<br /><br />One thing I find really useful for "losing" them is to create a similar value and color at an edge, for example, a shoulder of a white shirt with a white background behind that area so there is no edge. Can be really effective if done well.<br /><br />Your work is great!liz wiltzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968282661175393214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233422922314929310.post-59587298829557111032010-03-06T23:51:20.078-06:002010-03-06T23:51:20.078-06:00Theresa your "Summer Dream " is gorgeous...Theresa your "Summer Dream " is gorgeous!

But what do I know...as a typical guy, I would've probably stuck an old pick-up in there :-)<br /> You know Theresa, your work is approaching what I consider the quality of a modern day master...I would love to see a 5 page spread on your work in Artists Magazine one day soon. It would be deserving.James Parkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14780546357335117813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-233422922314929310.post-26568074667448059832010-03-01T06:50:20.018-06:002010-03-01T06:50:20.018-06:00Therea - congratulations!
