		<description><![CDATA[In the studio I&#8217;ve worked on the flesh of the hanged man a little more, adding whites into the highlights and blue into the shadows and the hair. I&#8217;ve scraped plenty of Cadmium Red into the lower arm, reasoning that because he&#8217;s hanging upside down his blood would have descended to the lowest parts of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been a busy week introducing new students to their classes and getting everything in order. We&#8217;ve been experimenting with the camera obscura to see what kind of results we can get out of it, finding that having some theatre lights aimed at the model really helps to create a stronger image. Joe wants to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After a few days of humming and hahing I&#8217;ve committed to editing the Traveler and Magician paintings from their earlier square composition. Now rectangles, the compositions look much better balanced, with the focus of attention moving down to the sun and the hand and face of the Traveler, while in the Magician the relationship of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The quest for foliage continues, and I&#8217;ve been adding dark shadows into the foliage on the right side of the painting, building substance and getting further away from the very decorative leaves that were there before. In the photo you can see where the new edge of the painting is (regular visitors will remember I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Emperor painting has taken a giant leap forward, with an entirely new foreground landscape beginning to develop around the Empress. I&#8217;ve enjoyed painting the underlying dark areas that will lie beneath a range of grass that will be the next feature to emerge. In addition, I&#8217;ve added some white over the edges of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reason that the blog has been so quiet is that I&#8217;ve been in China over the Thanksgiving break, visiting Taizhou, the home town of President Hu, in Jiangshu Province. It&#8217;s been an amazing trip &#8211; and very productive too. I met some really kind people who showed me how people live and work at all levels [...]]]></description>

Didn&#8217;t Donald Trump say something like &#8220;I don&#8217;t care what you say about me, just spell my name [...]]]></description>

Please will you visit the article online and recommend it on the Facebook link at the bottom of the page so the editors will cover more articles about figurative painting?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have no photographs to share from today&#8217;s Pre Raphaelite adventures, because once again the paintings we saw were concealed under thick glass, preventing me from getting decent pictures and making close examination difficult. This time we were at the Tate Britain in London on what seems to be becoming a fairly regular pilgrimage for [...]]]></description>
