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...
Sky Above Hartlip Church
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
After three days off at Upchurch art and craft fair and a day off chilling on Monday (for which read housework, daily German lesson, daily four...
A Hot Day In Nuuk
It was part 2 of the challenge today. After painting a rocky scene with the tundra supergranulators yesterday, I wanted to paint an Arctic scene...

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...
United Underworld
And here's the United Underworld collection all together. Catwoman maybe looks a little weak but, being drawn at a different distance and with her...
Catwoman
Gosh! And the Catwoman too! The four of them, their forces combined…why, the sum of the angels in that rectangle is too monstrous to...
The Joker
The Joker! Woi if only Oi had a nickel for every time he's foxed us! Yes, third up it's The Joker, played by Cesar Romero. I decided overnight...

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...
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly: The Collection
And here they are, all together. As I expected, their positives as a set are greater than the sum of their individual positives. They're up for...
