Eye to brain to hand, no can do for WOYWW

I wish I could say that I've cleaned up

my desks, I did do it in my mind

but the hands weren't willing.

It's really neat if you look past all the junk

There are four desks in my room,

if you look hard enough.

To the right is my big 'L' shaped desk,

at the back is my inking desk,

in the middle is my mobile desk

and to the left is my credenza/desk.

Actually I have an extra one,

on the floor is my tub full of desky things.

This is what I take to class and it's full of all sorts

of painty things like paint (duh), brushes, glazes,

pots etc.

Here is my inking station, wow, that sounds very official

it's really just a space to put all my inks and bits.

As you can see, all very well organised

(cough, cough).

Despite this mess and my teacher

trying to give me heart attacks,

 I've nearly finished three paintings.

Love the colours but have to paint in his face yet.

Boat colours are roughed in and needs to be finished.

Needs a little bit more colour in a few spots.

If you're wondering what the title is all about,

I have joined a sketch book class 

and was trying to practise before it begins.

One exercise is to look at a cup and draw it

without looking, sounds easy and probably should be,

as long as you are not me.

I had an almighty row going on in my brain when I tried this.

You see, your eyes are supposed

 to tell your brain what they see

and then the brain is supposed to tell the hand

what to draw but in my case

my hand is very strong willed and it was yelling at my eyes

saying it's always done the drawing and

back off eyes or else.

You can imagine how noisy it was getting 

in my little brain with the tooing and froing

between my eyes and hand. 

Needless to say, the hand won this round,

(the drawing was terrible)

my brain has no right or left side

just a muddle in the middle

and my eyes don't want to play any more.

This is going to be a long and 

very noisy (in my brain) 

sketch book course,

just hope I survive.

Wonder if the eyes will 

eventually win the war.

While my hands and eyes are still working,

on the keyboard at least,

I'll end off

but first why not hop over to

Julia's Stamping Ground

and see the the more normal people

are doing on this

work desk wednesday.

I finished my Sailboat picture the other day.
