Such beautiful colors. The gentle pink, and I think it's the half dark background that makes this picture. You've really captured the picture of this shell, it feels like a photo, even though it obviously isn't.

Why not? Pinks are so different but easy to mix. Its more that few red and yellow additions that are giving the colour its extras.

If you are getting to opaque so do a carmine or crap-red as underpainting (perhaps with some back or blue inside) and use more kremser-white than titan white, titan is very opaque. Try to let a bit of the ground look through. on light spots it should be opaque in the shade be more transparent

For a while I was in New Ross...
I know, If I want working I find good job. If I want live better, then I can live better... No matter where I Am.
I think thatI can live everywhere... Only that language barrier.
I understand what other talking to me, but sometimes I can't response. And often I use wrong words. )
Yesterday I shots some photos in Dublin... Later I add them to my DA.
And I'm lucky... In one week i had two interviews... Now, when I get my PPS Number i can signup to Work Agency. So i have luck.
I know what I must do.
And I'm very happy that I can live in Ireland. I feel inside of me that my decision about leaving Poland is right.

You should look for an English spell-checker on your system, that helps a lot with the spelling, without that my correspondence would look more horrible
You want to lean Gaelic? That will be difficult That is the real Irish

As I see you still have to learn some grammar, but my English mostly is some old school English so I'm not the best help.
But you talk freely and that helps a lot to learn, so you have to start to read some English books The spell-checker marks the wrongly written words that helps me too.

Me and grammar? For me very scary.
But You are still don't give up. You're better inenglish than me... even if your is ''oldschool''.
Englishbooks... hmm... not bad idea. But I must find eny kind of job.
This is first what I supposed to do here.
I can't use any programs for checking my words. But I have lots of dictinaries.
And I have frieds, who sometimes keeping eye on my writing. )
I must learn english quickly because I love speaking with others people.
