Notes on BWOT
Some of my friends have expressed frustration about the fact that they can’t get something like the Holy Family on their first try. And I say to them – if you’re a first time cooking student, do you start with duck a la orange, or do you start with “this is a spatula”? There are plenty of easier puzzles on Conceptis Puzzles, especially if you join. It’s free, and you get a plethora of free puzzles to work on, either on the computer or after printing it out.
I’ve been working on these puzzles since high school, so I’ve been at this a long time. And I still made tons of mistakes on the picture I just did. I was just lucky enough to be able to erase waxy colored pencils or cover them up with a darker color. I encourage people to join the group of puzzlers, but don’t be expected to do the Mona Lisa on your first try. Black and white is usually (but not always) easier than color, and if you make a mistake, try again.
Wow, that sounded patronizing, but really it wasn’t!!!

I disagree. I find color easier to do because there are more places to start. I’d say, start with the smaller black and whites to get a hang of the process, then move onto color.
Oh, and it wasn’t patronizing. I’ve been doing these for almost two years and I haven’t had the nerve to truly tackle the Holy Family yet.
