hum. my last post is vexingly contiguous to my current one. vexing, why? cos Im about to prove myself a liar...
will do better tomorrow...
um, no, actually. I got no painting done today. Why? I hear you ask. Because I was watching the Jeremie Bonamant Teboul DVD. All evening. I'm about 1/3 of the way through DVD 1 at the moment. It's actually really, really educational. So far I've even learned some handy stuff about how to spray undercoat (you wouldnt think there was a technique to it, wouldya...) and how to make and use a wet palette. (You can put em in the fridge and use the same paint the next day! how ace is that?!?!) I have also learned that JBT is a slightly wierd bloke, but in a fairly likeable kinda way. He doesnt come across as being a wanker, which is good, as there are more than 7 hours of his chat to wade through on the DVD(s). So, anyway. end result: I'm gonna take a coupla days time-out from painting to watch a french bloke paint stuff on telly. Hopefully corax will be able to demonstrate the results of a better educated dave
(for those who dont know who this guy is, or why im spending my time watching his tutorials, look here...)

an interesting remark by mr BT. he's talking about internet forums...
"What happens when a conversation takes place without us? Either nothing happens and nothing was missed or it's full of things happening, and we have not missed anything. Interesting things are said, stupid things too, discussions are ongoing in directions that are similar or different to those we'd want, and you realize that after all, is not very important that you get involved, because what you could say was said by others."
I also find this fresco freehand quite funny...
