The hills have some depth

well they getting more life anyway!! lots of work on the definition in the foreground. I think its looking OK.... layers more to go tho...  and then the glazing!  ps: the photo is a bit dark!

Damn but I love those clouds drifting down the valleys.. very serendipitous!

The Hills are alive..

yes, well... slow going but sortof have the main hills slapped on now plus some cloud and a first layer on the Glider. Coming along nicely!

Gliding On and an old mate pops up..

Bit more work on the Glider but the Hills are daunting!.

Lots more detail...  siigh ... to go...

and guess who popped up?.. Warwick is back in the saddle and drawing again. This absolutely amazing portarit of a mate of his was done using a mix of soft & hard pencils, graphite and blending sticks. and judicious use of various rubbers to create highlights. No colours or greys, no wax pencils. 

Lets hope we see a few more of his pics soon..

Glider

Just started a nice A2 sized acrylic painting for a mate..
Pictured over the Southern Alps near Hororata. Has to be emphasis on the landscape in this one but Im finding I need to do a little on the glider each time to work my way into it... so far, so good.
