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’).

225 -Miles -(Revolution Series1)


Another digital painting using Painter 2015 demo and probably my last as I've only got a couple of days left on it and I'm back to work tomorrow after a lovely week off :(
So am I tempted to upgrade? Absolutely. To be fair, I only brushed the surface (pardon the pun) and rarely ventured out of the Charcoal brushes doing these two paintings but it just feels like you're drawing traditionally. Still the upgrade price at £159 is nothing to be sniffed at and I'm planning on doing some more paintings using software that I already own to see if I really do NEED it as opposed to just wanting it cos it's the latest version.

224- Norah Clayton (Revolution series 1)


Currently trying out a demo version of Corel Painter 2015 as I'm just not prepared to pay Adobe prices for an upgrade to CS6 or pay a ridiculously priced monthly subscription  - bally pirates!
The good news about this update is that you can now get the upgrade price if you have any version from 7 upwards, well done Corel!
