I found Tanja back when interested in custom dolls, on YouTube.

I have always dodged this medium because I pretty much attached to pencils and water control kinda freaks me out. 

But seeing your work has inspired me to bite the bullet and finally try. 

I did a few realistic botanical paintings so far, so no focusing on extreme realism was a challenge and I decide to stop the study here.

I love the way you explain everything and jump straight to the tutorial, and offer different ways to approach the subject, the reason behind it.
