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

  I went to Dawson heights last week to go and collect something that someone was giving away for free, duration on the parking charge notice says 16 minutes, I had no idea that there were ampr cameras that would give me a parking charge and the signage was tiny and I wouldn't have thought that something like this would have happened as anyone had experience of this. And does anyone know if the residents here can put my registration number into the ampr system afterwards to help with my appeal process?

  Nadia did excellent pruning and removing unwañted shrubs last April. She has a full knowledge of plants. When it came to a design plan for a redesign she proposed a hand drawn plan. Although this was beautiful it was difficult to amend. People change their minds. It was also very costly. She suggested a contractor but he seemed surprised when we asked for a quote. He actually failed to quote. Nadia's second contractor who seemed promising turned out to be too busy. In the end we used a more established firm and had the plan modified to suit our needs, done digitally. The project was completed 5 months later. The planting up was completed successfully yesterday December 3rd.
