I recently curated a show of 20 artists including my own work - Destination Paradise, at the Sugar Wharf, in Port Douglas, Qld.
Here are some images from the show and festival activities running over the 10 days:

Oil progress
The egg was my first test in oils, comprising of two coats, in mono..a bit late to post.

another shoe & other bits
Thought I'd try out my new pencils with some sketches, although I think I need to go larger again in pencil size and try a different way of combining charcoal and graphite.
For quick figurework, the graphite pencils work well, but I need to also play with surfaces before I find my ideal combo..

Shoetime
Starting out...
Not much of a tool set, will need to invest in some different pencils and test them out. This mech pencil is great, but the largest lead size is 0.7, and for a drawing this size, I could have gone larger.
Final shoe:

About time for an update..
Coat Two : Further detail, cleanup and adjustments, refinement etc (above and below)
Coat One : Placement, shapes and basic tonal development :
Since moving to Brisbane in January, I have been working on design projects, visiting galleries and taking loads of photos, but haven't been sketching a great deal. So, in my attempt to reconcile this and also satisfy my long term desire to learn some traditional oil painting techniques, I have been attending regular classes with Marcel Desbiens: www.marceldesbiens.com. A number of artists host workshops here, but I really liked Marcel's work, and the level of realism he captures in his paintings. He is also a very patient teacher and comfortable teaching a complex medium to students of all levels. Over the next weeks, months and hopefully beyond, I will post my painting progress. In addition to the painting, I have returned to my drawing table and will have some drawings to share also. Here is a pile of selected bits, more to come. Enjoy!
