The much dreaded lurgi caught up with me this week, keeping me from Heatherleys for 3 days. Having gone through the (very unattractive) motions of flu, I was able to leave the confines of my room for the first time yesterday. Swaddled in full arctic gear, and dosed up on Beechams, I made my way to work (I'm a part time bookseller) - let me tell you, I tore it up! Cabin fever does wonders for customer service it would seem... Can't wait to get back to school on Tuesday now - my unfinished shed is calling, and Allan has promised to bring in a stuffed seagull for me to paint. Gotta love taxidermy. Seeing as I have nothing in the way of new work to post then - having been quite the absentee - here's a very poor quality photo of a sketch I did recently. I hadn't thought of doing an oil 'sketch' before (I associate the medium with slow, sustained work), but I thought I'd give it a go after being bought an oil sketchpad for my birthday. A shell provides the subject, as you can hopefully tell, and this took under an hour. Just a little something, not fantastically fleshed out; but I rather like it!
