Welcome



“It is in the order to really see, to see ever deeper, ever more intensely, hence to be fully aware and alive, that I draw what the Chinese call ‘The Ten Thousand Things’ around me. Drawing is the discipline by which I constantly rediscover the world.

I have learned that what I have not drawn, I have never really seen, and that when I start drawing an ordinary thing, I realize how extraordinary it is”.

(Frederick Franck, ‘The Zen of Seeing’).

150 - Eight Bells progress shots





I didn't take a whole lot of screenshots as I painted this picture in fact, just these three plus the final image, but I thought I would post them anyway.

150 - 'Eight Bells'



I have become a big fan of Winslow Homer's work and just love this painting so after downloading a trial version of Photoshop CS6, i thought it would make a good subject to test the software. I have to say that I was impressed with the brushes and how fast they work on my ageing iMac. They seem to perform better than CS5.5, presumably down to the new mercury engine or whatever. Definitely tempted to upgrade.
