Brilliant.
Thanks again Graham. Keep 'em coming !
I remember the old Wigan and Mining Technical College had an art department. A mate of mine Dave Markey, his brother John attended.

I went to the Art dept when I left school at 15. I left after a couple of months as the students were older and far more 'arty ' than me... And much more sophisticated I must say..

Just watched Bob Ross painting a mountain scene or more like scraping one.
Very effective but a bit too chocolate-boxy for me !!
