Rehearsals

Plots and plans. Time to mysteriously create a new play. After a bit of a hitch a new set of writers have been found. We are still looking for a director as the lady who was going to do it has been asked to work on something else.

It must be something in the water as another local theatre group is having problems. I think everyone is so busy working hard on their own projects that it’s hard to find the time.

I’ve got involved in the background admin and there are a lot more responsibilities than you realise. Grant applications are needed because of the difficulties with raising funds from local people. There is just not the cash available. And then extra costs appear. It’s no wonder I’m not sleeping well…

I’m finally going to get something to eat.. At midnight!

Someone asked me?

Old painting x

How to start a painting working from a blank canvas. I suggested they could start by changing the colour of the canvas. That will give you feel for how the paint goes on. Think about whether you want the canvas upright (portrait) lf on its side (landscape). You could do a gradient of colour or greys so it’s lighter towards the top or one side. Try and think of a simple subject to start. How are your drawing skills and do you want realism or an abstract subject. Most of all – enjoy!
