life drawing

more college pics.
Pastels again, I really lke this medium.














and a mixed media one too..

some art from NQ days at college

Yeah, I'll be sticking loads up til I've got through most stuff then ......
it's onto the new.




























I've a thing about hands.. fascinating parts of the body.
So intricate and full of expression.


No more for a bit coz I'm off out with my sister for a short interlude at a drinking establishment in town this evening.

and there's more.....

Here's an almost completed project we were set at college.
It took hours and hours but very pleased with the result.





















and the finished piece.
must admit that I haven't spent as much time on
any one picture since being at uni, we were doing one week briefs... just no time.

Kind of miss putting that amount of effort into one piece.
Need to get back in the groove............

some old artworks

This is of my friend's house in Devon, a wee sketch to leave behind.
The next is from college, one of my first lot of paintings.
Gave me loads of grief but I reckon I learned loads too.

I really enjoy portraiture but definately don't do enough.
College was better for discipline to complete and learn, Uni...
ah, yes... have to make myself do things.

More to be added later.

beginnings

Welcome to my first ever blog.
Oh dear, here we go!
Learning about stop-motion animation is opening my eyes
to so many new ideas, exciting or what!

Growing up I was introduced to 'Morph' on Take Hart,
one of my most favourite bits on tv.
This loveable, irreverant character created havoc
as Tony showed us art techniques.
He arrived on our screens from Aardman Studios,
which is now well known for 'Wallace & Gromit'.
