David’s Diary 6th Blog

A week on, and further developments this week. Further work is going to be added to the Grigor Gallery: Watercolour of a river scene and bridge and a spaniel. The client is trying drawing and watercolour painting and ink work. Bright colours are important so inks can show brightness the intensity far more than watercolour. Inks also dry far quicker than watercolour but they’re permanent so unlike watercolour which you can dab off the paper, inks can’t be.

Recording of sessions if wanted:

So clients are now being asked whether they would like the session recorded (for their record), and this is sent to the client afterwards using Wetransfer. I also send the image I work on as well to help clients by the same method.

Accessibility:

At the start of art sessions clients are asked what will help them with accessibility in the session, and brightness of colour can be key factor.

Marketing Blind Create:

I am waiting to talk to other sources about how to market Blind Create efficiently, which is taking time, and this is a very difficult side of starting a social enterprise business. So I am reaching out to known contacts and new contacts, and this takes time. I’m also looking for funding as well to develop the website, marketing and the sales form art and tuition sales.

Other developments are in the pipeline and zoom and Team meetings are being arranged with different organisations in order to discuss collaborations and advice. Watch this space for further news about this.

Giclee prints are now featuring on the website of many of the artworks, which is a big step forward, as I would like to make prints available for most sizes, mounting and framing which can all be done by a printing company especially sending the print by White label shipping direct to the client. When this is possible, it’ll be worldwide available not just the UK.

Keep revisiting and you may amazed at what could be happening next.
