The painting process is essential knowledge for all artists. Let me know if you have any questions. Regards Martin

Hi everyone I’ve been told I need to rest which I am doing to allow my head to mend and heal. I’m going to see how I feel tomorrow midday before I make an about tomorrow’s live stream. I’m not sure I’m going to be well enough to do it but will see how things look tomorrow. I must say having a fractured skull and brain bleed was not on my todo list or business plan for this week so it’s all a little strange really. Really sorry for this as I really need to upload lesson videos and courses but this takes a focus I don’t currently have. Apparently the Dr’s have said I will feel much better within the next 14 days. I’m sure they’re right. Chat soon Martin x

Looks like we has a tech problem re todays webinar. So this evening has been cancelled. Really Sorry for this.

So I'm pleased to say after three weeks of rest my head injury is on the mend. It's going to tack another 5 weeks for my fractured skull to heal but much of the dizziness and unpleasant feelings have subsided. Tuesday and Thursday streams are therefore now back. so please do join in the fun and lets get back to making this Skool a place to learn from. Sadly I still can't drink any wine for a while longer but looking forward to our next wine tasting moments in class where I can sip a little with you all. One thing I’ve managed to figure out all on my own is my head is attached to everything else so even making a coffee is challenging 😥 Thank you to everyone for your understanding and help while my skull heals.

What do you use within a reference photo to make into a painting ? I tend to simplify the key elements of an image, choosing to enhance the narrative of the painting I’m making rather than painting everything within the image. This is an example of the process.
