Saint Peter

Goodness me, we get to see such lovely things. My friend and colleague, Fábio Fonseca, has just sent me this beautiful photograph of Saint Peter (I think Fábio might be restoring it right now; his studio is in Sao Paulo, Brazil).

I could look at this photo for hours and lose myself. (I only wish I had the real thing.)

The Talbot Hound: episode 5

In which I attack the work I’ve done thus far

Three quick reminders:

  1. These aren’t teaching videos. Our aim not to analyse a technique and give you step-by-step instructions. Instead, in these videos, we want to show you how we work in real life. We also talk about the wider issues.
  2. A “talbot” (hound) was a hunting dog – the breed is now extinct.
  3. In this series, you see me painting a dog’s head that’s gone missing from a 19th century window. It’s a part of a restoration project we’re working on right now.

If you’re new to the blog, welcome, and you’ll find episode 1 right here.

In this episode, because episodes 1 through 4 have brought me to the point where my talbot hound looks young and new, I must now take steps so my dog resembles the time-worn fragments which survive…
