You cant rush perfection, You're doing well and the range of thing you're trying is impressive.

To my eye it looks like those drops are standing up on the surface.... Great job.  Where are you taking these lessons?

On the internet.  I've found  a lady on YouTube that makes it sound simple and doesn't complicate things with big words

She has Tutorials written and video, for all levels from raw beginner like me up to 'Artist'

The benefit is that I can, on a rainy day like today, do it in my kitchen while I'm waiting for dinner to cook.

That's a cracking piece of work. Who is this wonderful lady Brenda?

Thank you for your kind words, my husband calls me a  Jack of all trades Master of none.

I think it looks great for a first lesson, we're always the most critical of our own work.

Isn't it wonderful all the helpful stuff that's available on the internet/YouTube?

The 3d effect on those is awesome Brenda.  I'll have a look at that site.

Thanks,

Rob

So I clicked on a post titled "Lesson 1", and the first thing I see is a piece of wood (no surprise there, considering the forums) with water on it.  My braincell immediately shot to "oh, this is going to be a post on sealing wood and making a cutting board or snack tray or something similar.  Then....my eyes caught up with the runaway hamster wheel and I realized those weren't actual water drops......and my hamster came to a stop and thought "damn....that's GOOD!!!"

 

Too Long/Didn't Read version:  Damn, that's GOOD!!!!

[Tomanydogs]

They look good.
