Hi All,
I was kindly pointed to this forum a little while ago by an existing member, and have been deeply impressed with the quantity and depth of the information I've found here. I'm very happy to be joining up properly today.
I'm an ex-painter recently returned to the fold, and am currently working to improve my skills with a view to turning professional again when I can. Despite having had some art education in the UK some years ago, I have much to learn. It certainly looks like I've found the right place to learn it.
Most of my work at present is focused on training myself to see properly. I keep an online diary of my (lack of) progress at
http://www.learning-to-see.co.uk, where I ramble on aimlessly when I should be drawing and painting.
Below is my most recent portrait drawing. I'm trying to stay away from producing finished portraits at present, at least until I think I might have picked up enough not to make a complete hash of it. I've already learned so much from browsing here, I hope I can contribute something too - if nothing else I can provide a good example of how not to do it.
Thanks,
Paul
