While I was drawing the Tuck Inn, I also had one eye on a stand in the car park where someone was selling cherries. I thought it might make a good...

The Tuck Inn
This afternoon I took a stroll down to the Tuck Inn, my local purveyor of breakfast baguettes with the intention of running off another two or...
Looking Towards Hartlip House
And here's today's third effort, a different view from the same bench. The drawing feels like a step down from the first two. There are various...
Hartlip Church Porch
Next I moved position to get a view of the porch at the front of the church. I went against the advice of Alex Hillkurtz and picked a viewing...
Hartlip Church Tower 2
Tempting as it is to binge read my pile of new art instruction books, I do really need to test out some of my new art gear. First up are the...
Red House
Today's one of those weird days of the year. The day before my birthday. Who knows what sort of art gear or art books will appear tomorrow?...
New Court In Colour
Bearable temperature outside today? With worse to come, I thought it best to get out there with the watercolours while it was still possible. The...
Sarah Ann, Pensive
It's just too hot outside to paint this week, so I'll be having a run on the inktense pencils. Today I picked a pose by Sarah Ann, someone I've...
Adrina In Inktense Pencil
After that last painting, I wanted to have another go at painting Adrina in this pose, so it was back to the inktense pencils. It's quite good...
Adrina In Watercolour
My plan today was to play things fast and loose by putting down a random colourful underpainting and then to convert it to something else with some...
Stonehenge III
I fancied having a go with the oil pastels today as it's been a while. It's still too hot for them outside, so I was painting indoors. To be...
Sgurr A’Fionn Choire And Baruch Na Frithe
The distracting FIDE Candidates Tournament is over and I need to get back to painting and make up for lost time. But the test match was on this...
The White Church, Comrie, Perthshire
Painting's been taking a back seat for a few days while I've been enjoying the cricket and the chess. But the test match is over now and it's a...
Ancient Lights
Abstract landscapes don't drain me as much as serious paintings, so after the last one, I was ready for a repeat performance. After a little bit...
A Haunted Island
I'm taking a day off from serious watercolour painting today and going back to abstract landscapes. I'm going back to the palette knife technique...
Another Corner Of Stonehenge
It's June 21, the Summer Solstice, so I'm back to Stonehenge again. In a lot of ways, this followed a similar process to my previous painting, but...
A Corner Of Stonehenge
This was always going to be today's painting after all that fun testing out my Daniel Smith colours yesterday. It's two days to Summer Solstice...
Murray Edwards College, Cambridge
After all that fun with whitewashed buildings in my last painting, I wanted to have another go at something similar. After googling for white...
The Red Lion, Weston
It was looking too hot outside today to venture out painting, so I looked through my files for something I could paint in a shady spot in the...
Charlie K
Wasn't feeling up to a landscape today so I reached for the inktense pencils for a bit of figure drawing. Today's model is Charlie K, making her...
