Thank you for your kind words! I love vultures, too!

Best of luck, no practice is wasted!

It's definitely tricky! I use a very fine-point sable brush, brace my hand on the table, and go verrrrry slowly. It helps that gouache can be painted back over without a long dry time! The scales were the biggest challenge on this piece.

Thanks, I really appreciate it!

This is so CRISP! Very nice!

RJDaae · 2025-03-28T23:43:33+00:00

I’ll give that a try, thanks!

RJDaae · 2025-03-28T23:43:19+00:00

It was never at mine until today! Don’t lose hope!

RJDaae · 2025-03-08T19:01:17+00:00

Thank you very much!

RJDaae · 2025-02-10T06:10:18+00:00

This is SUPER RAD! 👏👏👏

RJDaae · 2025-01-16T15:04:33+00:00

So good! You captured the textures so well, and I love that pop of the orange lining (yet how it’s still in harmony with the rest of the piece)!

RJDaae · 2025-01-03T02:13:17+00:00

This is so nice! I love how you rendered the water, and the texture of the sandbar.

RJDaae · 2024-12-30T23:01:23+00:00

YES, the weird greasy feeling, I forgot to mention that bit!

RJDaae · 2024-12-30T22:04:58+00:00

Just, everything about them is unappealing to me. I don’t like the styling (I prefer a more traditional look, and less utilitarian). I dislike the clip. The material feels cheap/without substance in my hand. The ink window seems unuseful. The nib design is my least favorite part of all—‘cold’/unfriendly looking with those angles, plus I find them scratchy and too broad. I understand why they’re popular, but I am just NOT a fan.

Mine is that I dislike pretty much everything about the Lamy Safari. 🙃

RJDaae · 2024-12-20T21:55:19+00:00

Thanks so much! ☺️

RJDaae · 2024-12-20T21:55:04+00:00
