the air drying kind. My friend told me some tricks, (make the armature with bubble wrap and use sticks in the legs.) I made one little figure from a life sketch, and some more from a day with the model. Here are the ones that survived my fiddling. Really enjoyed it. Gonna do more.
Orlando was home from uni and wanted a painting of him, to hang on his flat wall... starkers with a marijuana leaf and sun glasses, so we spent the afternoon in the studio, with a roll of wall paper, acrylic paint and lots of coffee.
He has modelled for me before so he knew what he was letting himself in for. He is a good model, he keeps very still, and besides he got to keep the painting. Its now on its way to Maastrich as it was a little too big for Ryan Air cabin luggage.

details of my classes and workshops over the next few months....
Classes / Workshops
Here are the details of the
classes and workshops coming up......Please feel free to pass this
invite to anyone else you feel may like to come along.
Allow yourself the time to unwind, to simply be. Leave
the stress and tension of life outside the studio.
My classes are not about creating masterpieces, but exploration. Immerse yourself in the moment, splash paint around. Have fun!
Enjoy
the earth tones, ochre, umber and ultramarine, pulled from the ground. Play
with fiery sunbursts of yellow, red and orange; with bright luminous colours,
crimson, turquoise, lemon. Mellow hues of greens and blues capture elusive
dreams and memories.
Contemplate the stillness of a stone, a pot.
Compare their qualities, size, and shape. Fall in love with the gentle form of
a petal; recreate the stunning vistas of another landscape.
Try my new 'Drop-in' classes at my Ipswich Studio, just off the Norwich road. You don’t need to book for a whole course, just come when you can and pay on the day.
Bring your favourite materials, some paper and lots
of enthusiasm.
