This is the Web Journal started for the 1st year of my BA Fine Art. I just finished my MA and I plan to put up phone pictures of my new work and maybe sound out a few ideas about figurative and conceptual art and portraiture, so any feedback is gratefully received

Finally a drawing and painting with paint- in oil


This is my new self portrait to test the latest development in my drawing with paint method, it is 16x20inches and was finished this Monday, so its still wet. I should really show the stages but it never occurs to me until afterwards, and if I ruined it, I think the photographs would haunt me.
If anyone is out there please do drop me a comment

I'm out here in blogland!
I really like your portrait, it would be interesting to see some of the stages next time. How long did it take?

Thank you Cathy, it was two stages, a drawing with paint that probably took about half an hour, which had to dry over night, then the traditional painting probably about 2 or 3 hours, I wasn't really counting, but I paint pretty quickly.
