Painting demo...

Early last year I made this painting for a project for a class for Soul Food

 It was a great experience, but sadly Soul Food is no more

 so I decided to re-edit and cut to the interesting bits and make it available on youtube...

 because I started a channel over there which was Phant's idea

 I kept saying there was all sorts of things I would like to include in classes that didn't really fit with the subjects but would be handy for people to know maybe

and so Phants sat down and opened a channel in about two minutes flat

told me to stop boring her with all this stuff and post it instead and promptly walked off muttering about inept mothers

now I was mildly put out as I feel I listen to her endless discourses on subjects such as literary theory, the perils of the wrong mascara, and why Halsey is the voice of a generation

but it had some merit so I am dipping my toes in..

of course in true style it is still slightly dodgy and the narration on this one is a tad tired

because it took twenty six thousand takes or there about

because the bloke next door would yell at a kid, I would sneeze, I would record over part, but not others, I would forget to blank out old narration so it came through as a chipmunk in the background, I forgot what I was saying and started just chatting randomly, well you get the idea... so it sounds a tad flat and tired, because I was weary and tired and so sick of watching the bloody thing and seeing those same bloody tea mugs...

So if that magnificent introduction has sold you on it, then here it is to have a watch...

  Outside of doing all of that palaver, there was the sending out my first newsletter,

setting up delicious paint on a new platform... not finished by a long shot btw... and opening the print shop on my website.

All of which has made me wish I was either twenty years younger, or that I didn't have the attention span of a gnat when Phants is explaining things to me

Once all of that was behind me I got in and did some drawing, which calmed my whole being into a place where I lost the mad look in my eyes and the twitching of my left shoulder
tonal drawing just settles me and calms my brain back to a manageable state
I also completed another page in the sketchbook I am using for the Colour Me Positive prompts... two weeks and still sitting at 100%... small miracles abounding left right and centre around here at the moment

thank goodness for art to restore my sanity after a wrestle with the computer

I have to say a cordless keyboard may not be the best thing for me as I end up very tempted to hurl the bloody thing at regular intervals

maybe it will grow wings on the way down lol...

happy painting all...xx
