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’).

60- Digital Painting


These screenshots are of a digital painting I started several weeks ago and never got round to finishing. I thought that it might be interesting to show the progression. To be honest, looking at them now, I think that I prefer the 6th picture of Bob Hope (working from left to right). I spent a lot of time trying to get Jane Russell to look right without quite 'getting it'. Still, it's all part of the learning process.
