I quite fancied putting up my feet today and continuing to read the latest Guy Gavriel Kay novel out in the studio with the cricket on the iPad in...

Look Over Yonder
I'm still on the watercolours today but not in the mood to work long and hard at a painting. Maybe it's because The Ashes are on; maybe it's...

I'm back on to watercolours today and onto my proper palette rather than following any Schmincke supergranulator cheat codes, much as a love...
Miriam In Inktense Pencil

Bridge Over The River Risopatron
So after that brief dalliance with the Artgrafs this morning, I was back to the watercolours in the afternoon. For subject matter, I picked out...
Warming Up With Collibrina
I was going through my folders of watercolour paintings yesterday, tidying them up ready for an art and craft fair later this month. And I found...
Heeeere’s Jonny
I’ve had an idea for another set of marker portraits to get started on but had just one page left in a sketchbook and didn't want the set to...
Towards Stockbury From Queendown Warren
Back to the artwork after a few days off, and this is looking like an understated return but there are few things that I tried out in this one,...
View From First Post Corner, Cambridge
So after that last painting I followed a footpath that I'm sure didn't exist back in my day into Fenn Ditton to grab a lunchtime pint at The...

So today I headed out to the river to do some painting. Not being allowed to paint inside colleges and having my building draftmanship confidence...
Looking In From Christ’s Pieces
For reasons (d) other I'm in Cambridge for a couple of days and brought most of my gear with me to do some painting. I forgot the kitchen roll and...
Jerry Garcia And Bob Weir, Copenhagen 1972
With all this coloured pencil jamming I've been doing lately, I've been playing a lot of Grateful Dead. YouTube has obviously gotten wind of this,...
