In my last post I gave you 9 tips for keeping a steady hand when tracing, or – “How to stop the wobbles“.
The last tip was, not too much wine. (Well, none at all is best.) Which reminds me how David’s been teetotal for 30 years. Not a single drop. Thankfully, that’s not the secret of his amazing skill, though as I say, you’ll definitely paint better when you’re “dry”.
No, other things also count – like your painting bridge and how you treat it.
Many people ask how to keep a steady hand when tracing. They say their hands sometimes wobble and shake. Well, there are various things to remember here. I’ll tell you about the most important ones.
All 9 of them.
Oh – plus two extras.
Just been preparing for tomorrow’s visit from the Art Fund – ten of its committee members will join us in the studio.
So what’s the “Art Fund”?
Right – the Art Fund exists to buy important works of art for the nation.
And why are they visiting Williams & Byrne?
I am shocked.
A recent poll reveals that 40% of Londoners say they need to be “connected to the internet” at all times (yes, “all”) in order to remove the boredom of queueing.
This means 40% of Londoners are so addicted to distraction (sorry, Londoners, it’s what the poll says) they can’t bear the solitude of their own thoughts.
Now how have we let technology do this to us?
Here, there are two schools of thought about the effects of technology in particular and of tools in general.
