Covid19 (eventually)

Another New Studio

After the last post I was a bit deflated and when I returned to the studio all I could do was tidy up and finish off the few bits I have on the go.

I did some work on the painting on each day I was in.

I got as far as this state which needs more detail but is essentially blocked in. I continued with the doncaster platonics app, loading it up to the app store in test mode and contacted the council to tell them it was done. The app can be tested through this website, https://ian-latham.com/doncplatonic/ which has a link to the play store.

The app functions pretty well although the video remains problematic.

As well as the studio I worked on some images at home for greetings cards, and I made these roses which work quite well when cut down.

Then I had a visit to my Mothers in Preston and returned with Covid19. This is the first time I’ve had it at all and it is a pain in the arse. I’ve not been in the studio since the 2^nd October when I worked some more on the painting…

The colour balance is improving but it’s still not there.

So that’s October as a write off for now, I’m still testing positive after ten days so we’ll see how long it takes to get back into the saddle.

Drawing

I’ve continued to post on Threads as well as instagram.

I’ve continued to draw every day;
