Posted on April 27, 2011 by Guthlac

For some one who spent many hours working with brushes I find myself less and less able to use the package. Some how I no longer can connect with the process. For me it is all too clinical and detached. I know like the touch feel and dirt of makin… Continue reading →

I really must get this off of my chest. Dropbox has dropped a bollock. They have just updated the software and it is now a lot harder to use – well at least for me. They appear to have changed the work flow which makes it more complicated to trans… Continue reading →

Portrait Course

Posted on March 26, 2011 by Guthlac

Well I’m truly knackered. Five and half hours of none stop drawing has taken it’s toll. I have spent the morning and part of the afternoon at a Portrait & Drawing workshop at the the Richard Attenborough centre. It was a really encouraging day whi… Continue reading →
