I think this goes for people, too, as by watching how other's interact helps us with our characters :) (And I can't see the pictures either--not sure why!)Meradeth Houstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741790047121063893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797583622244194866.post-74334404666411131602013-02-19T06:25:09.900-08:002013-02-19T06:25:09.900-08:00My sister was an artist and she used to tell me wr...My sister was an artist and she used to tell me writing, was my medium of choice, like oil paint was hers.

Wonderful guest post, too. I've been teaching myself to draw and I got two great books that focus on really seeing an object, not just knowing what it is. It's amazing how much that makes a difference!<br /><br />See you around the blogosphere, especially during A to Z!Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3797583622244194866.post-43591303598690700232013-02-18T12:40:47.173-08:002013-02-18T12:40:47.173-08:00I'm an OK artist depending on what it is.
