Rewriting Tips

16th April 2015

I just completed another draft of a feature script. I really like doing multiple drafts with reading space in between, because each new version is usually an improvement on the last. I find the process similar to the way I paint (in multiple thin washes). It takes a while to build up the color and […]

Landed

I recently completed a new painting. Again, working with acrylic on heavy hot press water colour paper.  I’m relatively pleased with the result, especially the skin, although the scan did not pick up the subtle colours.  The original looks best!  Incidentally, if you like any of the work on the site, prints may be available.  […]
