Happy New Year!...

Another year seems to have flown past, this one certainly had its ups and downs though! As some of you may know, im now back in Bath, its been a couple of weeks since moving in and already it feels more like home than living for nearly 11 months in the other place- we really wont be missing it in the slightest! Lots of new stuff planned for the year ahead, a few shows lined up already- the first couple of months in particular are going to be a bit hectic but im really looking forward to it!

Just in case you missed it on the 3Cs Blog, my 100 portraits project is completed and as of the 1st January, the portraits will be available to order. Check out the blog for all the details.

I just wanted to say Happy New year to everyone, thanks for following! See you in 2012!

3Cs project, one week in...

Ive just updated the 3Cs project blog with a little post, its now 1 week to the day that i took the ref images and started the project and so far its been going well. Ive added a couple of photos of a portrait i did on wednesday so people have some idea of what im actually doing!

Have a look at the 3Cs blog: 100portraits.blogspot.com

3Cs Project Launched...

On the 1st of September i will start a project to create 100 portrait studies in 100 hours over 100 days! The idea is quite simple, take some reference photographs of 100 volunteers at noon on the 1st of September, then start creating a digital portrait study from the reference but only allow myself one hour to do it- one a day, for 100 days! Im hoping that this will allow me to further develop my portrait painting skills and will certainly make me do portraits that i would not normally undertake in my normal work!

I have set up a blogspot address, 100portraits.blogspot.com where you can find more information about the project if you would like to take part. Im also going to be promoting the project through Facebook and Twitter, if you can, please help in getting the word around, link to the blog, tell your friends etc. Obviously this is only going to be something you can volunteer for if youre in the Bath area on the 1st of September but i really need as much publicity as i can get in order for this to work!
