Content is a compressed version of my Form, Gesture, Anatomy course - this course is a series of sequential drills that you can learn and practise to develop your figure drawing - content for breathing life, light and depth into drawings. Drawings shown are from the beautiful @lorenalifemodel #fromlife #lifedrawing #brisbaneartist #australianartist #figuredrawing #figuredrawings #lifemodel #nude #fineart #traditionalart #classicalart #humanform
20.01.2022 If you are in brisbane, I will be in a panel discussion on Sunday 27th September at 2pm on the topic: How has the concept of Fine Art changed in the last 200 years? The other speakers will be Dr Christine Dauber and Dr Christine Kirkegarde with Dr Kay Kane as facilitator.... Due to Covid, you will need to book in via the link in the bio of @petrie_terrace_gallery I will be presenting my ideas from the pragmatic perspective of a working artist, discussing how I think of Art in general and Fine Art in particular by comparison, and how this is useful to us as artists to keep ourselves on a fruitful path.

17.01.2022 These and other drawings will be displayed at QPAC 26 - 29 May with the production of THREE, a performance by @australasiandancecollective THREE includes choreographic works from Melanie Lane, Hofesh Schecter and Brisbane’s own Jack Lister. Basically my drawings started with quick sketches from the dancers in motion while in rehearsal for Lister’s piece Still Life, an amazing experience. I then developed drawn compositions responding to what I had experienced, based on t...he notations in my sketches. To read all about it and see the drawings and sketches they came from, as well as links to tickets see the link in my bio.

15.01.2022 There’s always so much to learn from the Old Masters! Michelangelo, like many other Renaissance masters, makes use of the rhythmic line to emphasise the living energy in the figure via the sense of force being dragged across the figure between structural points. Notice how this means that both the structured geometry of symmetrical forms (ribcage, pelvis) are as important as the flow and tensions of the soft tissues between them. Also notice how the rendering Michelangelo u...ses is often fairly frontal and while there is a shadow and light zone, he prioritises form above light, thinking more as a sculptor than as a painter. I believe this is an important approach to balance out the more visual or painterly approaches with this more haptic, or touch-based spatial sense. 1st term of 2021 of my classical life class starts on the 7th January. Book before the end of 26 Nov for the early bird discount (code DRAW2021) via www.brisbanedraw.com or see the link in bio. class is held in Royal Queensland Art Society studio, Brisbane. #australianartist #brisbaneartist #brisbaneart #learntodraw #figuredrawing #oldmastersdrawings #oldmastertechnique #classicalart

06.01.2022 Just about to wrap this monster up. Has been keeping me busy for some time. Will post better photos of the painting itself once I have them #figurativeart #figurepainting #contemporaryclassical #symbolism #highkitsch #brisbaneartist #australianartist

04.01.2022 Went camping with a great group of friends this weekend. This is an iPad sketch of the campfire with the moonlit landscape beyond. I’ve found iPads not useful for daytime landscape sketching but at dusk and night time, if you turn the brightness right down, they allow you to work in a way that would be nearly impossible in paint. #procreate #landscapepainting #nightscape #ipadpainting #campfire #moonlight

02.01.2022 Undiscovered oil on panel 61 x 45cm Swipe for details and early life studies. Personal computers are now fast enough to allow us to generate 3D fractals, fascinating and endlessly detailed spaces that are at once familiar and alien, but are entirely generated by iterations of simple formulas. That was the basis for the weird landscape you see in this painting. Here I brought together elements of retro scifi novel cover art and ancient greek sculpture to make a kind of god...dess of wonder and exploration. Thank you to @carmen_olsen for the amazing interpretation of my ideas. Glorious as always. #mandelbulb3d #mandelbulb #figurativeart #figurative #exploration #mythology #symbolism #symbolismart #figurative #lifedrawing #traditionalart #contemporaryart #contemporaryclassical #oilpainting #mathsart
