Chick I was banging at the time said the music's by Leftfield. Just don't quote me on that.
^My memory is of it being one of the few good tracks on their hotly anticipated (after the epic Leftism) but ultimately disappointing 2nd album.
But I have not listened to it in 20 years so might give it a spin
Yeah, it's 'Phat Planet', from their second LP 'Rhythm & Stealth'.
Started painting this one last week plein air as it’s just round the corner from our home in Frinton thinking I could get away with it as it’s a huge area and very few pedestrians as you can see it’s as rough as guts and full of puddles , however one of the local busybodies started going off at me so I just packed up and went home , Incant be arsed with the aggro anymore

Ooooh, gotcha!
I was inspired by this thread and nigelandjan's contributions when making my New Year's Resolution for 2021. I like to learn something different each year and decided to attempt to learn to draw this year. I resigned to the fact that I am not an artist many years ago, but with retirement rapidly approaching I thought I would have a go and at least try.
The goal is to paint birds and butterflies using acrylic, but there are a few hurdles that I have to jump, first being to actually be able to draw.
I have a couple of beginner's drawing books and have set aside at least 20 minutes a day for the first hurdle, learning to draw. Half the Lunch break at work seemed like a good idea, so I started on 7th Jan. It's nearly 2 week's later and I have kept up the pace, reaching the dizzy heights of Lesson 14.

I thought I'd have a go at the blue tit I photographed a week or two ago, using some cheap kid's sketch pad and pencils...

It's still a long way to go before I become a budding amateur painter but it's certainly relaxing.
Great job.
Some great work in here. I can't draw to save my life but I took a shining to techy drawing at school and chose it as one of my subjects.
Today I was asked to draw what I was needing for a storage container with shelving so I knocked up a wee isometric. I was really missing my T-square, set square and isometric paper, but armed with an HB and a piece of card for a ruler, I knocked this up and it was a pain in the arse.

My old man did that once and wanted me to get something built and shipped.Quote:

Looks like the thickness is 2cm and distance between shelves is 80cm.Quote:

...Where is the total width of the shelf?
Always start with a datum and go from there.
No timber required, I't just a rough idea using another container we have as a rough template.
Thanks Bogon, I'm not worried about evenly spaced and slightly larger on the bottom is better. Shelf width is 72cm all round leaving 100cm isle in between.Quote:

Very good well done , but I wouldn’t limit yourself to acrylics , give oil a try if you can , you only need the three primaries plus a white however having a go with anything is better than nothing .
oil is so much more forgiving and user friendly , well for me anyway , I actually gave my acrylics away I got frustrated with em
keep up the good work ,when you do retire and sit down to paint the time will fly
High tides here now in the Hamford backwaters , continual rain since the new year hasn’t helped

A few days ago, I saw this picture of the snow in Frinton. I wonder if Nigel was able to get out and about to paint some snow scenes.

Attachment 64736
Used up an old piece of board and some paint I had left on the pallete to make an impressionistic view of wivenhoe sunrise , a place I have attempted to paint many times before ,, bit crap I know but just a use up of materials instead of binning it , all practice and plenty of time in my armoury
