Hello bloggers, anyone for turkey? Back at college again, new year, new semester. Had my assessment last week on the first semesters work. Seemed to go O.K. so fingers crossed.
I started my first elective this week - painting. Like everyone else I was itching to get started. Not surprisingly there were a few preliminary exercises to conduct first but we got around to some painting eventually. It's always interesting to do something new, for example painting blind, which I hadn't done before so I found that a good exercise. Need to practice though (a lot). We also got a new list of artists to research which is always interesting. I've just finished a book on Frank Auerbach, by Robert Hughes, and it's amazing to get an insight into an artists past and discover the dedication and passion they have in thier work.
Typical - I've just scanned several images from the book with the intention of uploading them, and now I find that the 'insert image' facility isn't allowing me to. The curse of modern technology strikes again. I guess I'll have to save them onto my cigarette lighter thingy and try again tomorrow.
