Photo realism

Well, I got this to perfection, I nailed that wonky bowl, and captured that murky background to perfection. Ah, the talent.

Garish and Gaudi and a tad Grim

Yup, it's confirment, I have no notion what I'm about. I was randomly dabbing, scraping and blobbing, as well as huffing, puffing and sighing. What was it I liked about doing this again?

I figured it was time to fall back on chillies, I can do chillies.  It wasn't,  I can't. Still, it was nice standing there, painting away, listening to good old Melvin Bragg on the radio.

Turn around and start it again

Wow, I've just checked and it's been around eight months since I last painted or posted, which as it turns out, is just the right amount of time to make sure I have completely forgotton the little I had learnt. I've finished studying for this year, so have a bit of time, yipee, and I thought it would be nice to continue with this painting malarky.

It turned out to be less of a continue, more of a turn around to where you started and then take three steps back. N'mind. I didn't know what I was doing , what went on first, when to , how to, why to , what to. After a while I just gave up and didn't get around to doing anything with the chilli. On a positive note, I think I actually got the shape of the cup right. Ta da..
