So Many Fine Finished Projects

[Nap]

Cheers all. Sorry to have hijacked the thread. It’s early days yet, and of course I will explore all of the options once my eyes have healed. At the moment I’m just coming to terms with having sacrificed my near vision.

Hi Peter

You've haven't hijacked the thread , as others have said highlighted this , sorry to hear but your a fighter and a great modeller so time is the keyword ....PM me if I can help in anyway

As for the thread topic .......it's great to see WIP's of course but it is time consuming and does for me stop the mojo at times ......when I'm on a flow I like to keep going .......but do wish my Iffyvision pics were better !

BIG THANK YOU to all that do WIP's and of course Reviews ......do continue

Happy benchtime

Agree with Banjer. Apart from WIP threads on this and other web sites I have done articles for modelling magazines, and I found I was doing more photography than painting. Also, having to think about what I was doing so that I could relate it coherently to the reader really interrupted the creative process, to the extent of taking all of the enjoyment out of it.

Off topic, I’ve just had cataract surgery and found that I have lost my near vision. That can be corrected with glasses to some extent, but I don’t think I will be able to see well enough to do close work in future. Never say never of course, but it looks like my figure painting days are over.

Hi Peter

i'm a bit late coming to this thread; sorry to read about your eyes, but all may not be lost.

last year I had my cataracts treated and now need glasses for close work. I took a 1/10 scale bust into the optician with me so that the glasses are focussed to my sculpting/painting distance rather than the normal reading distance, and they work a treat. It may be worth having a chat with your optician.

all the best
Peter

Mr D was only thinking the other day I hadn’t seen any of your work, so did a quick search on here and found this thread. That’s very bad news, I’m keeping everything crossed that you can at some point soon get back to the hairy sticks.

Cheers Steve.

Now six weeks since the second eye was done and it looks like it’s going to take a long, long time for my sight to recover. No near vision at all now and I’m going to have wait until everything is healed before looking at the options re glasses and other mechanical aids.

Oh well……….
