Getting back up to speed
Solving a few blogging problems.
I’ve gotten stuck. First with drawing and later with writing my reviews of other art sites.
It took me a few weeks to figure out what was going wrong and how I should deal with it.
Getting rid of a drawing
I was in the middle of a hatching exercise when I lost interest. [...] -

Getting those juices flowing again
Finding a way out of the “annoyance” trap.
What do you get when you put 2.000 people with disabilities in a room?
A lot of complaints about all the problems they have.
Last week one of my colleagues got a new job. After having a secondment at some company they gave her a contract.
You would think that every [...] -

Starting work from an new book
I started working from the book “How to draw what you see”.
There is something contradictory in what I’ve been taught as a child.
On the one hand I’m taught to go by my feelings. If something doesn’t feel right it probably isn’t.
But on the other hand I’ve also been taught that you should be able to [...] -

An Irishmans difficulties with the Dutch language
Running into problems while working through the book.
There’s a little book, written at the start of the last century, about an Irishman who visits the Netherlands and decides to live there for a while and learn the language.
I’m not sure whether he is cheap or that there just weren’t any courses to learn Dutch at [...] -

Getting paste the feeling of restlessness
Finding a way to continue drawing after a three weeks rest.
Talking about how my father met my mother some one asked me why he was still in school when he was 28 yrs old. I never realized that but usually people finish with university when they are about 23 or 24. So during our Christmas [...] -

Don’t feel like talking (Drawing: Lines inside hand)
The exercises in the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain seem to be working.
I haven’t done much the last few days. I haven’t written any articles because I didn’t feel like talking and writing is a form of silent talking. Neither did I draw anything.
Drawings come with little stories I repeat in [...] -

Drawing up side down
11.02.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsSpoiler: If you’re planning to read and use the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain you’d probably better not read this article.
After doing the somewhat strange first assignment to awaken the right side of your brain I went on with the even stranger second assignment.
The author describes how she found that her [...] -

Left or right sided thinking (Drawing: Faces and Vases)
To draw better you’ll have to learn to awaken the right side of your brain.
The idea behind Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain is that the two halves of the brain have different tasks and different strengths. To clarify that the book has some information about research that is done and the relation [...] -

Going for broke (Drawing: No more blue)
I’m reminded to do the best I can.
On Sundays I play the board game Rummycub with a group of elderly ladies.
When I started some five years ago I soon found that the safest way to play the game was to never play out all the stones I had on my board. That way I always [...] -

Dialing down expectations
10.01.07 | Permalink | 2 CommentsI have to dial down my expectations to, hopefully, reach a point where I can fulfill my expectations.
Working at the sheltered workplace I meet a lot of people who feel that they are destined to do an important job.
Usual they are people who were born with an disability. They were told there whole lifes that [...]
