I am half way through this course and finding it very useful in my quest to learn how to paint portraits. Duffy Sheridan teaches at a slow informal pace that can sometimes be tedious but I personally like his laid back style, one gets to know him after a while, this is nice because he seems to be a decent relaxed – American type of dude. He is also extremely talented which is an important ingredient to me enjoying his portrait painting course.
A half hour per day; lunch time sketching is a slow process. I take a photo each day just in case I mess the whole thing up and have to trash it!
I am finding it hard to find time to illustrate and paint during my lunch periods right now. I do have time, I just need the office to be calm when I illustrate and it has not been of late. Such is life….

Clive James is not my favourite poet but I do like his source of inspiration, which is a beautiful painting by Antonio Mancini.
This clip shows several minutes segments from the dvd by painter Robert Liberace. More info at www.robertliberace.com.
I thought it would be a good painting exercise to capture Arnold Schwarzenegger’s muscles with water colour. This will probably take a whole week of lunchtime sketching, this is day Nr. 1.
