UKCPS

I've just signed up for membership to the society, seen as I have enrolled on a Coloured Pencil Certificate Course I thought that a membership would enhance my learning in this medium. I have always admired the beauty of coloured pencil paintings and hope that I can produce some great artwork that shows exactly how gorgeous this medium is

In other news I have just invested in a tin of Derwent Coloursoft 24 pencils and shall be doing some sketch work to see how the pencils produce for me and what effects, textures and colour blends I can get with them.

Bethany is back to normal today, armless, bored but back to her usual self. I just hope this means i can now knuckle down and continue with my schedule that has suffered since her accident.

I am moving in a few weeks time, no definite date yet but I cannot wait to get into my purpose built studio which comes with my new house.

I have some work to do

I am working on developing this picture into a painting in either oil or acrylic

These are the paints I use in many of my paintings and this is a fantastic set for starting out in oils. Always use the best you can afford, and using artist quality paint as a beginner will increase your confidence with the medium as the vibrancy in artist oils is so much brighter, and you will use less!

I guess this page will feature my art

There comes a time in ones life where technology gets a grip of you and you either have to ride the flow of the tide or get swept away by it, so here goes, my artistic life will now be displayed for all of you to see warts and all.

I decided to plot my artistic journey, from sketches, planning, preparation paintings and masterpieces, expect to see it all the good the bad and the ugly with the odd ramble thrown in for good measure. I am working on developing a series of plein air paintings of Cornwall and I am toying with the idea of an engineering theme also at the moment, seen as I work full time for First Great Western Trains as a Mechanical/Electrical Engineer, expect to see trains.

I am also an avid photographer and I am looking to expand my photography portfolio into a business acumen so again watch this space.
