    Damn, ten days passed much too quickly. Only just managed to obtain some fountain pen nibs today.

    LOL, thanks. It’s horrid, but that’s part of the process I think 🙂

    On my screen there is an insert=image button on the far right-hand side of the menu bar directly above the editing screen, I’ll post a screen-grab:

    that should allow you to browse for and upload an image.

    it would also be encouraging to have some response from the site’s management, in all honesty it feels like a bit of a ghost town at the moment 🙁

    Yea, ditto – in fact, I have some potential sketchbook/artwork ideas for just that.

    I’ve not gotten much further than that yet, 2 hours into the 20 h, and only have 8 days or so left on here :-(. One concern is it seems to be moving a bit slowly, although I get that the time spent looking at and clarifying an annotating everything is in itself stimulating and productive. Just hoping it moves deeper and quicker into the application and wondering if I should focus more on something else in this tiny little window of NMA free-trial opportunity…

    I’m torn between the importance of composition and the potential of the sketchbook-as-laboratory that I’m getting out of Steve Huston’s new series.

    Same here. Just stated but ‘Primaries of design’ makes so much sense, have never encountered these elements treated so practically before.

    Some consider it cheating, they’re wrong for most practical intents and purposes. There are obvious drawbacks and challenges to working from photographs, but as long as you are interpreting rather than merely copying photographs are just another tool/resource in your bag of magic tricks.

    I like the poetry of it very much. I think the previous commenters have said more and better than I might. The background instantly reminded me of Gerhard Richter’s candle paintings. Are you familiar with them?

    If I may, I seemed to see a consistent hardness of edges, especially on the couple. Is that intentional?
    and what are your intentions with the background?

    Very quick and rough, hopefully not too crude. Definitely, want to get hold of a fountain pen, that looks fun and so dynamic.
