Digital painting
For his birthday in 2005, Seb got a huge Wacom pad. He used to draw a lot but kind of fell out of it since the babies came.

It is not very easy (especially since I have no experience of real painting…), but you have to start somewhere. Here is what I have so far:

Hi Ida, one of your fellow fishies visiting… She’s so cute! Wonderful job especially since you’re still learning, but I never would have guessed
She’d be a great addition to your Etsy shop. Hope you have lots more fun with the tablet. See you in the fishbowl!
