Last night I had a pretty horrible experience.  I went to a life drawing session and for my sins I decided to use my iPad instead of more traditional materials and methods.  Well this caused quite a stir, not in any negative way, but rather a stir of interest from the other people attending.  Now whilst it was nice to get the interest after a while I found the whole thing wearing and slowly  my ability flow away.  In the end the drawing I made was awful and I must admit I felt like giving up this whole art business.  I know I know this was a total over reaction but that is the way I am.

Digital Painting Based on the Idris character

This morning after a good nights sleep thing didn’t seem anything like as bad.  Yet I felt I needed to do something to try and purge the negative feelings so I sat down and created this painting, which I really like.  Suddenly I believe I have a some talent, even if it isn’t ever apparent in group sessions all though as I write these words I have to ask “so what?”  Digital painting gives me a real buzz and I think I finally starting to develop a style which is beyond just copying.  Pip Pip.
