Hi,

I am a freelance textile designer that loves doodling but would love to be able to draw some detail from life observation.

I am looking for some patient, curious soul to help me learn how to draw from life.

I have dyspraxia, which means that due to mild motor malcoordination I become very impatient when holding drawing tools and end up drawing too quickly.

Also, my mind seems to break up what I see into some kind of visual patterns that are easier for me to take in, but my hand does not follow. I see so much and interpret so much and yet produce very little drawings. I am itching to get it all out and find relief in coordinating my interpretations with my manual and gestural expression on a variety of media.

I would ultimately like to find my own way of drawing from life, I don't need to follow cannon, but I would like to make a connection between my mind and my hand, and that which is being observed, to a certain degree. I would like to harness the dyspraxia and use it to my advantage for a creative edge, rather than going against it.

If you or someone you know is interested in taking up this challenge, drop me a line!

Thanks!

Helena

  This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect. David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉 It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon

  That was one that the BBC seem to have lost track of. But they do still have quite a few. These are some in their 60s archive. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0028zp6
