Well I’m out tomorrow so I won’t be able to do anything on Linda. This is not a bad thing as I feel a little distance will help matters. So this is the last Linda for a day or so. Simon Marchini LRPSWeb: http://WWW.simonmarchini.co.ukBlog: http://… Continue reading →

Another hour or so – things are shaping up a little more

Posted on September 7, 2010 by Guthlac

It really is useful to take your time with these things. I’ve now worked on Linda for another or so and things are starting to come together. This doesn’t mean I am happy with what I have done but I have yet to develop the cold blooded skill of ju… Continue reading →

So now the election begins

Posted on September 6, 2010 by Guthlac

It is decision time for the Labour party – just who do they want for their new leader. It probably will be major or minor Milliband and I haven’t got a clue, or a vote, as to who it will be. However, I do find it rather rich of newspapers to criti… Continue reading →

And I have not forgotten I am a photographer as well.

Posted on September 6, 2010 by Guthlac

Another step forward

Posted on September 6, 2010 by Guthlac

When less is more

Posted on September 5, 2010 by Guthlac

Another lesson learnt. I was looking through a book on sketching this morning and picked up another tip or is that technique? I don’t think it matters. Anyway, the tip was that an eraser is more than remover of errors. When used correctly it can b… Continue reading →

Working hard at getting better

Posted on September 4, 2010 by Guthlac

It has been hard work day today. I know this depends on your definition of ‘hard work’ but I have worked hard. I was up at the crack of dawn slaving over the iPad trying to improve my technique. I think I have shown signs of improvement but there … Continue reading →
