Course work: Ongoing work on Stage Three of Project Two.
Reading and theoretical studies:
Sarah Simblett The Drawing Book
Dorling Kindersley, London, 2004
Pp. 47-87
Sketchbook work: A drapery study in charcoal, ~18 x 26cm; I can do these tolerably well in most media, but doing them in acrylic continues to elude me.
Weekly reflections on learning experience: I am going through one of the periods of frustration that attend the learning of any new skill or technique. The knowledge that I could do better with another medium is disheartening, and even the certainty that persistence will lead to progress is unhelpful. The work I am doing now is not done out of pleasure, but out of self-compulsion. All I can do at present is to struggle along and try to make a different set of mistakes than I made on the preceding day. My reading and sketchbook work are gradually returning to their pre-vacation levels.
Time today: 1 hour 26 minutes
