I've been away from Blogger for more or less two and a half years now. Admittedly sometimes I've felt the urge to share some of my work again, but than reason always asserted itself again. I simply can't see me putting the effort in to really make it worthwile for anyone. I always loathed having to spend hours taking halfway passable pictures only to then spend even more time editing them afterwards so they wouldn't be too dark, too light or whatever. Something I failed in more often than not anyway. That time I feel is better spent painting… or reading. With other, more transient, social media a quick snapshot with your phone is usually enough. And that's the appeal for me. Combined with the fact that Blogger has become more or less unusable with an iPad… but that's a rant for another time.
Anyway, the one thing I feel I still want to continue doing are my painting guides. I'm still amazed that, while I didn't share anything on here for quite a while, those painting guides still seem to attract quite a number of people. So if you happen to be about to start a French Army for the Early War period, todays guide might be something for you.
