Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoThanks, page kept getting filled as I found more and more forsythia in bloom or at least buds. They’ve been opening from the indoor temps. I’m really interested in getting bright yellows going. Watercolor pencil base helps me. -

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoThx Pam! I am trying to post from my iPad. So maybe that’s the problem. Had no issues before the new site development began. But now can’t post any images.

Photo in the group The Practice of Botanical Drawing Discussion Board 7 years, 6 months agoCarol, yes! Actually when I tried to reply to your question, I couldn’t. I had to click on the photo and then comment in there. Are you trying to post media from your computer, or from your phone?
I’ve found that I can’t post media using safari on my phone, but can using chrome. Hope that helps.
