I have now started to add the material to the Learn to Draw section of the site to provide some course material for free. This has the PDF’s  available and the first video tutorial as well. I will post the other ones shortly. These are all free, however if you would like to assist with the project, your contribution would be greatly appreciated.

I have decided to put Basement Picasso back online. In the coming weeks I will be adding my artwork, blogging about the work that I am currently doing at Leith School of Art, publishing some older art course material for free and more. Looking forward to getting this going.
