What I've been up toooooooooooooo

Just an update really......

Drawings - done a few self portraits and a sketch of Thome Yorke recently because as always I am trying to improve my portraiture skills, making progress slowly... here are a few , also did a still life - apples in a bowl sketch






















































Paintings - Working on a 60 by 80 cm abstract at the min, after quite a long break i'm painting a lot more , finding the will to do it again :). Also have painted a small still life on a 8 x 10 inch canvas called bowl of apples (with help from the sketch I did earlier and observation), needs a lot of improvement but it's an ok first try I guess, was going for a kind of fauvist inspired frenzy of colour, but I don't think I really achieved that.






















Completed this abstract painting a few days ago , it's untitled though, quite pleased with it, was trying to go for a flowing abstract expressionist feel.

Charcoal Drawings

I have recently started drawing with Charcoal, here is some of what I have produced over the last few days. All are portraits of people, as I am trying to improve my portraiture skills and capturing human form.

1st is a drawing of Julie driscoll, not really sure who she is I just saw a picture of her in a magizine I had and decided I want to draw her cos she looked quite mysterious and strange.

2nd is a drawing of John Lennon I did based on a picture from the same magizine.

And the last is a drawing of Albert Einstein.

I am quite happy with them all as by doing them and other drawings my skills at drawing the human form is improving steadily. I also have some other drawings to show but I shall wait till I have scanned them in to post them up here.
