So - the 3 pencil drawings are Luma - improved upon each week - a 3 hr pose no less - you can see she has the look of a mermaid - today I start to paint her - and today I finally - even though I have previously said finally - got the hang of this blog - some of my problem was connection - but this kitchen counter seems a fine place to upload photos. - so you can follow - I shall stick my painting of her up here today - it'll be great for me to have it all in order -

I'll now put the still life drawings and photo - so you can see how that's doing - I do this with Linda - the lady of the house - who is also painting this  - we both start painting it tomorrow - well actually - I haven't quite finished the drawing - so must get a move on - I may just transfer it anyway - but I do have to get stuff in the right place - I've really enjoyed drawing this set up - at first I hated it - for the first hour - I thought Bugger this - I like drawing humans - can't be doing with this very still non life - but I became hooked somewhere along the line - and improved from then on - in my seeing - fascinating - so I'll put those up now
