My slow blue sunflower painting is continuing to be slow. Also its still blue and still a sunflower. But most importantly its still slow. This is mainly due to it usually taking a couple of days to dry enough for a new layer to be applied. But this is a bit of an experiment so I'm not that bothered right now. Also I'm used to things taking ages. I've drawn Jon Pertwee's hair after all! I'm hoping that I'll be able to layer the blue enough in places that it will appear black. So that the rest will shine a brilliant blue. I could speed the whole thing up by mixing the blue the a brown to make it darker but I want to see just how far the glazing with go.
In the meantime I've had one more Dalek arrive. The stone one from The Big Bang. It's actually a rather impressive figure. The paint job does an ace job of recreating a stone texture, it even has extra bits added to make it rougher to touch. Alas the particles do come off fairly easily and I think they were a bit stingy with it on my Dalek! Also the eye looks massive! I've not check to see if its larger then the other figures. I'd be surprised if it was but perhaps the paint plus extra texture makes it look larger. I dunno.
Yesterday I was meant to meet a friend for a chat and tea. Unfortunatly I was let down! So I ended up buying a replacement friend (2nd hand) to have a hot chocolate with. His conversation isnt as good but at least he wont get ill and fail me.
I've decided that I will be doing my review of this run of Doctor Who post the finale. I'll be able to write thoughts on the individual stories knowing whats to come. I'm not sure if I will be scoring them though. I'll think about that.
