My strenghts are looking, painting, abstraction, colour, photography. I've been looking my hole life so i think i've got the basics! jokes beside i've got a very sharp eye and have a very gd nateral compersional eye and can pre-fram an image before i take the photo or start painting. with painting I find my strength is the lines and the textures but i'm sure i can really improve my painting here because lines and textures of paint is only the tip of painting and i want to perfect it over the next few years and at least improve over this year. I'm a very abstract person in general i always see in differant ways than most people, i speak abstactly alot of the time and this have completly infaluced my painting and photography. colour is the essance of my painting and photography and i find that i'm very good at placing colours together, blending them together and overall using colour to fill gaps well. photography is my new great hobby and something i started for just fun has really turned into a great passion i love the whole preporation and developing the images and just how you can turn a simple image into so many other images and abstract an image by just adjusting the focus.
My weakness are, still life, life drawing, drawing in general, small soft images and areas i have not be tought like textiles or book making which i'm quite excited to be tought this year. My still life is not as good as i would like it... i would love to be able to do very quick line drawing so i can do painting and cutting from them later on but my line drawing are just not detailed enough for me to do this (one of the reason i started using my camera) my life drawing is the also quite weak becuase i find small soft lines hard and when you do a hard line for life drawing the images look very cartoonish. I generaly need to slow my drawing and painting down and learn new tecneques with drawing something i came here to do. its not a chore for me i enjoy 'hard art' when you have to really put some effort into it.
