I think I have finished this portrait study. I had a few changes of concepts around colour and value while painting it. I recorded the process so I am going to try to put together a little time laps video soon.

A quick sketch outside.
I an just enjoying the cold and warmth of the sun going behind clouds then reappearing. I produced this little sketch of Carol. I have started to use a conte 1710 B pencil. You get some fantastic matt blacks with it.

The reason being........
This blog that t I have anticipated putting together has finally started (Phew) without waiting until all my ideas are in a line.
The rationale behind this work is to document the development of my figurative work over the next few months and maybe years. I would also like to include my research, links to interesting articles and Artists that have informed and influenced my progress. I am an avid collector of information due mainly to my full time work as a Lecturer in an Art School. (somewhere in Lancashire UK) I am especially interested in techniques and processes and how materials have a very significant and powerful impact on the work we/I do, so I will probably have a few things to say about these.
I will try to blog as much as I can (i have never blogged before so this may take some getting used to) and this will probably take the form of drawings and paintings that i make. I really want to capture the sense of striving to improve through a sustained practice, which, as we all know is difficult in this day and age.
if you like anything please pass it on to people you know whom it may benefit or just be of interest.
I will start by putting in some images that I have put together recently so you can see where I am todate and maybe where I have come from. Later on I will put some of my first portrait attempts (now they are funny!)
Enjoy
