Posted on October 17, 2014 by Guthlac

Project LV One – 172 – Still Life

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Guthlac

I hate still life.  There I’ve said it but I’m afraid it is true.  I find making a still life drawing very hard and in the end soul destroying.  I’m not a huge fan of still life paintings either – … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 170 – Over Ambitious

Posted on October 11, 2014 by Guthlac

One of the many walls that I am hitting as I start this painting odyssey is being far too ambitious.  For years I have been able to create really moody images using photography and photoshop.  So naturally I’m attracted to such … Continue reading →

Posted on October 9, 2014 by Guthlac

I’m in a bit of a Germanic mood at the moment.  This has been encouraged by my recent visit to the latest version of Germany – there have been many.  Whilst there I bought a book on Gustav Klimt which … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 143 – Contemplating the Female Form

Posted on September 14, 2014 by Guthlac

I spent most of today looking at a nude woman.  For some with a rather childish or pruriant view point this might sound a bit dirty.  However, anyone who has tried to make some form of drawing/painting by doing this … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 141 – Nudes

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Guthlac

Are we getting more prudish in our old age?  I really don’t know if I have an answer to that but just recently I have started to wonder if making life drawings is still considered to be a sane thing … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 138 – Gene Gray and all the frustration released by a visit to an art gallery..

Posted on September 9, 2014 by Guthlac

So the first painting in the Grey series has been an unmitigating disaster – so I thought yesterday.  After four days of battling with the painting and loosing I just gave up and let rip with a paint brush.  After about … Continue reading →

Project LV One – Day 127 – Learning Curve – The girl with the blue turban

Posted on August 29, 2014 by Guthlac

I think I might have taken this painting as far as my current skill levels will allow me to.  It has been a real love/hate relationship but I have learnt so much by the whole process.  I have already started … Continue reading →

Posted on August 28, 2014 by Guthlac

I read somewhere once that to become an expert in something you need to have put in at least 10,000 hours.  Well I worked out this morning I have put less than 100 hours painting time or to put it … Continue reading →
