so here we go...
just an update on everything!

last sunday i particpated in a 9 hour lifedrawing marathon and pumped out so much work, it was so good and at the end i was on such a rush that i could have done it all over again! life drawing kicks ass!

what was so special about this class though was that all particpants we not charged for it, instead they had to select pieces that the generated during the day and sumbit them for a public exhibition - i picked out 9 (me thinks) and they all got displayed, the space was limited but it was set up quite well and everyone got their opieces submitted! it was a nice feeling to see my work up in a public space and it was also great to see everyone elses aswell - we are encouraged in the class to look at each other's art but you don't always get the chance... so we were able to discuss different styles and chat about the class in general - apparently my work got an alright response from the ppl who attended!

also, i have been trying to experiment with different mediums aswell, that was one of the main things i wanted to do during the day! so i didnt use charcoal once during the day (i hate charcoal so much!), so instead i was using oil pastels, biro, acrylic paint, ink (i love ink!) and various tools to apply or remove the media, also, i brought a selection of different papers to work on aswell - i guess i pretty much brought everything in my arsenal!

im also doing a short water colour work shop to learn the basics of the medium... stuff that i wanted to know but wasnt bothered to learn out of a book... i really like the medium and the stuff i learn can be directly applied to my ink life drawings aswell, im also starting to apply washes to my gesture studies to indicate tone and/or shadow...

i have some creative ideas for submissions on here that are not life drawing related aswell, but i need to get materials first so it will be a while with them... so i may be asking you guys for somee help and also the ppl that i watch aswell...

ill be posting a short journal - not too long just about the marathon i did so if you read these things look out for that!

thats all for now!

thanks to you all that support my work and keep up the good work yourselves!

keep watching this space!
