Paintings by Hidemi Tada and Rod Buckle and drawings by George Cwirko-Godycki.

Hidemi Tada’s study of old masters
Sometimes I come across site from artist at which they ordered there work in chronological order.
On the first page you’ll find there first painting, on the second page their second and so on. Of course usually you don’t look further then there second or third page because artist hardly ever start out with there most interesting work.
Hidemi Tada ordered the paintings in his Flickr account in the same way. But luckily for us Flickr doesn’t present work that way. You get send to a page were you can get an overview of a set.
Usually I attach great value on my first impression. If I like the colors and the overall feel of the set I’ll pick some picture from the middle of the page to look at. If I like them I start at the start and look at the whole set.
Hidemi Tada is learning how to paint by the old and tested method of copying the masters.

Rod Buckle’s watercolors
Rod Buckle is also studying to be a painter. He paints lovely watercolors landscapes and cityscapes.
Going by the comments he write under some of his paintings I imagine that he takes a lot of time planning his paintings.

George Cwirko-Godycki’s strange drawings
George Cwirko-Godycki draws a blog. Literally draws a blog in that he doesn’t comment on his drawings. But paging back to the beginning of his blog I found that improving that the goal of his blog is to improve his drawing skills.
His drawings are about as strange as the name of his blog: Common in coastal waters.
