Collograph Prints

By Heather, on October 26th, 2009%

Back to class after a week’s holiday: it’s amazing how tiring your first day back is, even after such a short break!  It was great to be back though.  I had my ILP (Individual Learning Plan) interview today.  It’s just to see how you’re getting on with the course, what you’re getting from it, . . . → Read More: Collograph Prints

My Space project update with some life drawing

By Heather, on October 25th, 2009%

Painting with your hands (cont.)

By Heather, on October 20th, 2009%

So I’ve been working on my painting a bit more today.  I don’t really like where it has gone.  One minute I liked it, then next I didn’t.  I hate that about painting.  The bottom part has turned to mud, so I’m going to leave it until tomorrow and try working that part again.

I’m also not sure about the various elements on the page.  They don’t seem to sit well together.  They seem disparate.
