ART BLOG

“IT ALL STARTS WITH WRITING”

My Art Blog is spilt into three main categories. In the Exhibitions & Progress category, you’ll find personal stories from my various art exhibitions and posts showing my progress over the years. The Learning with the Masters category is home to detailed notes and photos from various art classes I’ve attended. While the final Category, Miscellaneous, is as the name suggests; a collection of random things, such as: How to Guides, My Struggles, Advice and various Art based Questions, such as … Isn’t it uncomfortable drawing a nude model?
