Hi sylvia welcome to the site hope you enjoy your time here

Hi Sylvia. You must enjoy all these wonderfull people.

Hello Sylvia and welcome. Great place with lots of friendly and caring people!

Thank you everyone for such a warm welcome! I may not log on every day, but you can be sure I'll be following the lessons, in fact I've already done the tree lesson and thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm sure I'm going to love this site. Graphite has always been my first love, although I now attend art classed, mainly watercolours, but also oils and acrylics. I enjoy these very much, but I keep getting drawn back to pencil drawings - as I said - my main love! Looking forward to getting to know you all better, Sylvia
