Love the paper colour, but it is a pain to scan or take a photo of :p And not having much luck trying to get it to look right digitally, its close here, but then the Toucan looks a little washed out.

A not yet finished mask. Need more to the face, but I like the hair and the pineapple looking object on the top,(its a woven sphere left open). One of my favourite paintings is, ' The Horse Fair ', figured it was about time I studied it more, and that means doing a few quick little sketches from it. I've seen a study of the panting, and fell in love with it. I find it so interesting to see the changes that were made on the final, and can see why she changed things around. Was supposed to have college today, but woke up and was in a lot of pain, really hard to walk :/ Its a tad frustrating because I don't want people to think I'm just skiving.

  Started to colour the little Toucan. I really like this paper colour, 'Lagoon', at 15 pence a sheet. I wish  had of grabbed all of it when it was on sale. Huh, just realized this photo is actually bigger than the  drawing in person :p Added prints of the Orca print to Etsy. Didn't put the actual print online for sale yet since I might need to put it in my portfolio. 

  Little finished lino of a whales tail. Yes, I know the registration doesn't line up perfectly, I should lie and say that its on purpose (its not :p), but I still like how it turned out. The blue looks like shadowing on the fluke. There is a blue gradient to the water, but it isn't really showing up on the scan :/ I really need to practice more with getting registration lines to line up properly, out of 20 prints I am lucky sometimes to get one properly aligned print.Practice makes perfect I guess.....onto the next print.

  Well as finished as its going to be, on to a new pose next week. And I really have to remember to not wear black trousers when using pastels, by the end of class I look like I have gone swimming in pastel dust :p

Finished linocut :) I did a few with blue instead of red, but they didn't look as good, a little washed out. I want to clean this image up and make some designs for fabric and possibly other items for zazzle or cafepress.
