09.01.2022 Happy Friday What better way to learn colour and tone in a short snappy exercise than by painting a butterflly! Painted along with Heather Olsen an amazing artist at Sentient Academy #SentientAcademy

06.01.2022 "Art is the organising or composing of natural forms into an expression. " John F Carlson And that is what I am trying hard to learn..art is not about just copying what we see but adding something of ourself..going beyond reality creating a mystery. Its also learning from others, those who are just a little further along the path...and then passing that learning on, like a baton! #SentientAcademy

04.01.2022 Plodding on with my online lessons. I have painted this girl, Emma her name is, before, in this pose..without tuition..and now with and its definately better!
