October fest

Last month's challenge has been an eye opener for me...i was in the idea that ...when i work on a painting i was completely  dependent on my mood...but the challenge had rubbished all that myth ..i was always enthusiastic to draw n paint during the challenge n was totally engaged on composing my next work. This has kept my painting n blogging skills live so I decided that this month I would dust and brush up my onestroke techniques that I learnt from Susan Ericsson an OSCI (one stroke certified instructor) 10 years ago...i very been practicing it now n then I was not very consistent so here's my first one
