so guys i just found out that nutella is an Italian product. someone told me it was british once, then someone else told me German...but i actually found out that they make it in Piedemont Italy...

I LOVE THIS STUFF. i dont get it very often though TT.TT. so when i do get to Italy, whenever that is, im gonna go to the factory and buy so much they will need a second plane to bring it back to the states!

In other news...i have to choose scenery for my paiting. i decided (OF COURSE *rolls eyes at self) to do one from Italy, but everyone and their mothers paint florence or venice, so i want to do Southern Italy! D:<

but the picture i choose...OMG IT'S HARD. its a Town in Sicily...taormina.[link] but my view that im paiting is from the mountain) Beautiful, but hard...I wont give up though! I'm going to be able to paint like a camera when I'm through!

so with this in mind, any tips on nice practices i can do to sharpen my skills, and im talking realism, no anime please.
