Question: What do you get when there is
- One wide awake ,new mom lying in bed at night having had
- One strong cup of coffee the evening and also
- One tall glass of cold coffee a little later in the evening, next to
- One milk fed ,sleeping baby,lying on her left side with
- One ball pen in her right hand and holding
- One writing pad in the other hand, at an almost impossible angle,in a room lit by
- One dim bedside lamp
Answer: This
and this
which are the new mom's first attempts at sketching her baby, and also her first attempts at sketching with a pen.
The new mom thought that they were not-so-bad, till daylight and a in-a-hurry-to-get-to-work-husband disagreed . Still ,for better or worse, the new mom wishes to show them to the world.

Wow those are gorgeous! And hi, first time here :)
@ MRC, Extremely sorry for the delayed reply...
Answering your two queries...
1. Are you using oil based or water based glass colours?
I have used solvent based colours in the one u saw. I sometimes use water based too but I like solvent based more coz of its rich dark colour when it dries.
2. How do you avoid bubbles while painting with a brush?
I use paint in small quantities... the brush should not be reused several times...and use a pin immediately to pop it up :)
Maybe there's some other way but this what I know. If you come up with something else, do let me know.
ps: Btw, thats not a bad sketch at all...too good from what you explained esp wen u consider the 'angle' :)
