So, I thought I would share a few things from my art folio from high school.  These would be about eight years old now.

I like to think that my skills have improved since high school, but the truth is that I’m sorely out of practice.  Although, I’ve not had a chance to work with inks since high school and they were always my favourite.  I love watercolour too, but we never did any in school.  I asked about it one day and the teacher said they were “wishy-washy.”  Lame.

I really want to do some life drawing again.  I tried a bit of drawing from photos a while ago, but it’s just not the same as with a model.  If I had more money (or any money really) I would be spending some at The Art Shed.  I want some nice new pencils and inks and watercolours and good quality paper.  I left my watercolours and and graphite pencils in Canberra for Louie to use.  I really miss making art with Louie.

These are only about a third of my folio.  There are also some still life and portraits, but they are basically garbage.  Plus none of them are ink, so who cares.  Oh, and I just remembered that the top one is done with a twig.

I so need to get some inks.
