Actually the more I look at it the more it may detract from the children. Mm, when in doubt don't.

If I tell you then you will not work it out for yourself. Think of the colours you have used and try to unify and enhance the whole image in the sky without dulling down or loosing what you have already so do it subtley. You can always leave it as it is. When in doubt leave well alone until you are ready.

I have my own space now to paint which is a room off my bedroom but I used to paint at the kitchen table where I used to live and sometimes in bed - still got stains on the duvet to prove it!! You only need a small space - maybe try watercolour pencils which will probably be a little less messy!Sharon Whitleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403989834480218330noreply@blogger.com
