Good News and Classic Life Drawing
Had some good news today – 3 of my etchings have been accepted into the New Visions exhibition at the Grant Bradley Gallery opening on Sat Jan 7th 2012 through to the end of the month. This is the first time original DMCropley artwork has gone on sale to the public – hoping for the best! :D
Now that Life Class is over until January next year its time to dig back through the archives and post up classic images from years past. Enjoy…

Last session of term tonight, 1 hour of warm ups then 45 mins of etching goodness. New term starts again on Jan 19th. In the mean time I’m gonna start digging back through the archives and posting choice nuggets of scribbly goodness. I’ve got a good set of plates ready to go to print but no time to do the work… lets see if we can get that changed :D

Morning! It took ages to get my mojo working tonight, but got there in the end. Silly work, getting in the way of drawing… :D

Its been two weeks since the last life class and I haven’t had a chance to scan any old work, so I’m feeling a bit rusty and this place is starting to collect tumbleweed… but I’m back with a new selection of pics from tonight’s class :D
15 minute poses all night tonight so just a few images. Had fun doing a quick portrait for the last pose which was nice. I tend not to do this sort of thing very often as its a bit too close to my comfort zone and I like to keep it a bit more challenging with the line work

Enjoyed tonights session, even though I was knackered. You can usually never tell how its going to turn out while you’re in the middle of drawing ( I can’t anyway… too self-critical) but there’s definitely one pic that hits the spot for me out of this batch. Can you guess which one it is? :D

Its been a busy old time what with amazing hot sunny weather over the weekend and starting a shiny new job today so I’ve been a bit slack with the updates from last weeks Life Drawing session… better late than never :D
I just need to get some mount-board at the weekend and I’m all sorted to get the first batch of prints gallery wrapped and ready for shipping. slowly, slowly, catchy monkey…

Print Collection 16-09-11
Picked up a couple of test prints today. Not so sure about the tartan plate. Will have a think about another way of approaching the tone. The other plate is the first etching I made live at life class. I wasn’t going to print from it, but it may be just the image I’m looking for to fill a personal commission.
