Well absolute disaster Version One of the Pilbara Landscape went down the tubes...flaking paper right in front of my eyes...I had chosen the smooth side of a 300gpm Lana paper because I thought it would be better for the nib work...this is painted on a French Cotton paper with a nice tooth...now here I run into trouble because I bought three sheets on special and can't remember the name of it so if anyone can help I will be eternally grateful...a lot of the art shops here are getting rid of their more expensive lines because professional artists are doing it a bit tough over here at the moment as no doubt they are all over the world...it's a good time to buy though if you have a few penny's in the back of your purse and I'm always out for a bargain...I laid in the washes last night and did a little work on the trees in class today...for the sky over a light wash of Cobalt Blue and a Cerulean Blue Red Hue with a really strong tint over that...It's new over here but beautiful for Aussie skies...I also got Tutor to demonstrate Australian Greens for me on my paper with my paints so that I could take it home...everyone else got to watch though...it looks a bit messy at the moment but that will change with time...we have a three week break now so I feel confident enough now to finish this at home and surprise everyone at the beginning of next term...nothing was working for a while there but now I feel I'm on a roll and just stopped worrying about every mark that goes on the paper...in other words I've stopped nit picking and have managed to reach around and give myself a good kick up the backside...it's in my gallery under Course Work
