Watercolour Sketches
Well the signing at Unity was a great success. Too many artists to fit behind their large counter - I think 21 contributing artists made it along. It was a heap of fun, as were the beers we all had together afterwards :)
Thanks again to Paul and Kate for all their great efforts in getting White Cloud Worlds off the ground.
As for today's update here are some plein air watercolour sketches. I have completed a bunch of these since I last posted any, and I will post more as I scan them all in.
First up are two I painted in Christchurch this year, shortly after the earthquake. I have family down there, who actually fared reasonably well in the whole ordeal. I had thought to possibly paint some earthquake damage, but Christchurch is such a picturesque little city that I became caught up with the normal sights.
These are painted in a 13x21cm Moleskine watercolour sketchbook.
The first is of an old building across from the new city art gallery in Chrsitchurch. The second is the Avon River, looking North from the Bridge of Rememberance.

White Cloud Worlds - Signing at Unity Books
Hey guys,
There will be a large group of the contributing artists signing copies tomorrow from 5pm. The signing is at Unity Books, 57 Willis Street in Wellington City. I think almost all the artists are coming to this one, so if you want a copy and you want it signed, this is a good time to do it :) Or if you want to do me a huge favour - come along with a copy of the Hangover and pretend to mistake Greg Broadmore for Zack Galifianakis and ask him to sign your dvd. That would make my day! xD
If you can't make it tomorrow though, there will be another signing at the Weta Cave on November 14th - and I'm sure that will have a good artist turnout too :) Hope to see some of you there.

Life Drawing at Weta Digital
Some more lifedrawings - I havn't posted any in a while though I have been going intermittently.
We had a clothed model last night, in an outfit she made herself for Halloween.
While I've drawn people in cafe's plenty of times, I can't remember ever doing clothed life drawing before. The tight time frames make it a real hurry to try and indicate any local values or materials. But on the flipside, there is more leeway with your structure. I was reasonably happy with these. The first is a 30 min pose, the compiled page is mainly 5 minute poses.
