Eye-eye
'It's all gone quiet over there' they sing on the terraces, and after a flurry of activity in November I've also been a bit quiet of late. The reason being I've just had surgery on my eye for a detached retina, leaving me unable to paint/draw for at least six weeks. Frustratingly this also meant postponing my Cambridge Drawing Society workshop, though I did manage to get some paintings hung at the Mill Road Winter Fair art exhibition at Romsey Mill on the first weekend of December. Thanks to David Wood for organising everything, and to Isla for being my eyes and hands when it came to putting the pictures up.

Workshop postponed
My Cambridge Drawing Society workshop 'Portraits in charcoal from photographs' has had to be postponed until the new year. We are currently looking for new dates from February. The class is fully booked.
In it I look at number of techniques and considerations involved in creating dynamic large-scale portraits - info can be found at www.cambridgedrawingsociety.org for future reference.
