Happy New Year

by Nicola on 3 January 2010

Hi.. Erm I’m really embarrassed about leaving without saying anything like that. 
I would be the worst person to do a regularly updating webcomic or something like that.  I really am the worst – I’m so sorry for my rudeness.
Umm it kind of got harder to come and post because I was embarrassed about my [...]

This is a quick 5 minute watercolour of the view from my window.  
It’s pretty light and its not really clear what it’s showing  (and the scan changed the colours a lot, so you can’t see much of the clouds for example).  It was actually early sunset when I painted it, but you really wouldn’t be able to tell [...]

Skulls

Ahh I’m awful at updating.  Here’s a try at some skulls from memory (they’re not very correct – especially cheekbones).  We’ve been studying skulls in art at school, which is very interesting :¬)

David Curtis

Quick (very haha) start on maybe a study of a painting by David Curtis called ’A high point above dale house’.  I don’t know much about this artist but I found the images saved in my reference folder.. decided to paint it.  Except it looks pretty ineffectual as a study right now, as I spent only 5 minutes [...]

Panda socks

Panda socks

I’ma bit worried I’ve picked the wrong a levels.  I’m not that strong in maths and I don’t find it interesting… It is a good qualification to have, but I don’t like doing it every day.

I envy those people who can do digital speedpaints.  I’m trying to paint from a photo, but I’m taking a long time to get it right first of all.  I’ll keep working on it.  Picking the right colours is challenging; I reverted to doing a grayscale underdrawing ish thingy…   My eyes are really watery and [...]
