Out & About...to the Bruno Benini Exhibition







It was my birthday this week! A friend and I took in the exquisite sights at the Bruno Benini photpgraphy exhibition at Sydney's Powerhouse Museum. Unfortunately I could only take some snaps with my iPhone so they are grainy but you get the gist. This was an absolutely breaktaking exhibition which surpassed the 80s exhibition and Frockstars exhibitions we also took in that day there.

It was meant to of finished on 15 August so you can imagine our delight when we discovered it still open, with only a couple of other punters wandering about. If you have a chance, GET THERE. Or check out my grainy pics. He is a treasure with an amazing eye.

Learning Face.



Second lesson, we did the FACE! I still want to work on this quite a bit! Doing a large face is far easier than the fiddly heads on the fashion figure which are often little bigger than 4cm long.

We also learnt how to do hair...naturally I asked the teacher to show me how to do my haircut...because it's simply the most amazing do ever.

My first sketch.



Ah what a momentous occassion. Whilst words never fail me, my ability to put ideas onto paper in a creative and art-like form do...hence me taking this class! So I was pretty happy that my first sketch resembled a person! But of course, a long way to go! Got to start somewhere....
