Sample Colours

Today I primed small cards so that I could make a collection of my favourite colours. I left some of the card unprimed so I could see the difference once I had painted them. I quite like the matt dried out look, even though that might contradict why I use oils. This is the firstContinue reading “Sample Colours”

Slowly making Progress

I feel like now I am going to write about what I have done since my last post I am overwhelmed with how much I have actually done. Not just physically painting, but thinking, reading and visiting galleries. I will go backwards from most recent, and talk about yesterday, the unexpected. Visiting London this weekend,Continue reading “Slowly making Progress”

Reflective Writing

I think I do this automatically, I can’t help myself, but I need someone to say hay yes this is reflective writing. What’s the difference between critical thinking and reflective writing?

In my ‘O’ Level art class at school I had my paintings up upon the wall, probably in the corridorContinue reading “Time to put things aside”

A story to tell

Writing about art and how it has influenced my life, I can go as far back as being age 9 and winning a competition at school for the best landscape watercolour painting of Malham Tarn whilst on a school field trip. I still have this painting as I found it whilst looking for information IContinue reading “A story to tell”

First date with a blog

This is not easy! If something is not going right I take it that it’s me that’s doing it wrong. That’s how I’ve probably been brought up to think everything is my fault and it’s therefore my responsibility to make it right. That’s not a good way to think all the time and I’m onlyContinue reading “First date with a blog”
