		<description><![CDATA[I love charcoal, but not the mess it makes.  You&#8217;ve got to prepare to make sure absolutely EVERYTHING isn&#8217;t completely covered in dust.  But it&#8217;s such an expressive medium.  I love the strong lines you can get, a love blurring the lines out &#8211; and yeah I do use it to cover up dodgy marks!

I made a couple of choices. Firstly I was only going to work in black on white paper. Even in media where I had colour options &#8211; [&#8230;]]]></description>

I started off by trying them out in my sketchbook, varying the pressure of the line, and the position where I was holding the &#8220;implement&#8221;. It&#8217;s all to do with control and so I drew a couple of [&#8230;]]]></description>

What happened was that not long after I signed up, I got a new contract &#8211; I&#8217;m an I.T. Consultant by trade &#8211; which has been extremely demanding of my time. [&#8230;]]]></description>

The quality of the finished drawings she produces is amazing and yet she holds out the hope that anyone can learn to draw that well.  It makes me think that I can [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I like books. Getting the book list for a course and going out and getting them is a really big pleasure for me.  So I downloaded the PDF for Drawing 1 and set about my Amazon account with gusto.  OK it&#8217;s not the same as going to a real bookshop, but even the Deansgate, Manchester branch [&#8230;]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been considering it for a while, but my hand was forced by impending huge fee increases which would have made me even more reluctant to take the plunge. The details of the whys and wherefores can be found on the OCA Profile page, [&#8230;]]]></description>
