I consider myself new and just wanted to say hello.  I started looking at the forums last year but with 3 kids there hasn't been much time to keep up.  I'm hoping to have a little more time now and would like to develop my skills more.  I am already learning alot from all of you and am amazed at what can be accomplished in this medium.  I have been doing watercolor on an off since 1995.  At the time I was searching for an alternative to oils because I was pregnant and didn't want to be exposed to the fumes from the turpentine.  I found I really love the medium and love to work with dry brush to get good detail.  I've only posted once so far and hope to do more before the end of the summer.  See  you in the forums!
