Clive James is not my favourite poet but I do like his source of inspiration, which is a beautiful painting by Antonio Mancini.

How to make flesh colors
This is a very informative video on mixing flesh tones by Ben Lustenhouwer. http://www.lustenhouwer.com/en/home
I am just starting to learn to paint and I find Sebastian kruger’s acrylic art a great inspiration.
A nice nice video that offers tips on how to paint trees with watercolours.

Oh, I like this artist’s technique too! I’ll have to check out more of his work later, he seems to be very good.
Another Alvaro Castagnet video for my blog.
I’ve started painting again after a break for 25 years!
Well, if I think about it I have never really learned to paint, and therefore have never actually really painted. I am older now and hopefully a little wiser, I can see that I have shyed away from painting because it was too difficult and that one actually has to make an effort to learn the skill, much like learning to play a musical instrument. It wasn’t within me, I did not have the desire, but now I do and I want to learn the art.
So, at the moment I am using water colours and I have used acrylics last weekend, both demand different skills and I am enjoying the challenge of learning to express myself in these mediums. I find Alvaro Castagnet’s confident style appealing, I like his fearless, cocky approach to painting in water colours.
