And here he is, a late substitute joins the team. As Rosa Klebb limps off in disgrace, on comes Hugo Drax, played by Michael Lonsdale in...

Rosa Klebb
I'm up early to finish off the Bond villains collection. So here's Rosa Klebb, played by Lotte Lenya in From Russia With Love. I'm a bit shocked...
Emilio Largo
Next up in the Bond villain collection is Emelio Largo, aka Number Two (I believe). He was played by Adolfo Celi in Thunderball. I picked a...
Another Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Some new blue pearl markers arrived in the post last night. Without these, I wasn't able to do any drawing yesterday as this colour so proving to...
Oddjob
Ah, Oddjob. Played by Harold Sakata in Goldfinger, he was always going to be in this collection once I'd moved on to henchmen. Once again, I...
Zbigniew Krycsiwiki
First up today is Zbigniew Krycsikiki, aka Jaws. My definition of Bond villains has extended to include henchmen. Jaws was played by Richard Kiel...
Francisco Scaramanga And Nick Nack
And here's the second and last drawing for today. Scaramanga and Nick Nack, played by Christopher Lee and Hervé Villechaize respectively in The...
Doctor Julius No
Now that I've convinced myself these are my takes on Bond villains and not just portraits of the actors that played them, I feel liberated and am...
Ernst Stavro Blofeld
These marker portraits always come in pairs, so here's another Bond villain - Donald Pleasence as Blofeld in You Only Live Twice. Except that my...
Auric Goldfinger
I might have only awarded that Emily Ball book one palette but it has got me mood to do some portraits and, in particular to try to get the gaze...
Sastrugi
There's a long story behind this one. I didn't have much time to paint today but thought I'd been away from the brushes for too long so that I'd...
The Cities Were Abandoned And The Forests Echoed Song
It's been a bad day at the office today. I wanted to use some of the lessons I learned the other day after sorting my paintings by colour key. I...
El Bandito
Today's painting started off from a reference photo of Lee Van Cleef in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly but I never could get any sort of likeness...
Hartlip Church In The Snow
A month or so ago, someone from the village church was asking about the possibility of me painting something they could use for the church's...
Moon, Turn The Tides…Gently Gently Away
I'm currently reading How To Make A Watercolour Paint Itself by Nita Engle and thought I'd try out some of her ideas today with a stormy sea...
Hartlip Church In The Sun
It's the 29th of August already! The local church has another tea and cake afternoon on 12th September and I promised them I'd have another...
Ann And Rebecca On The Shiraz
With England poised to score an innings victory over India at Headingley, it was never going to be anything but the inktense pencils today. I'm...
High Cup Nick
This is High Cup Nick, a huge chasm up in the Pennines. I've been meaning to paint it for years after seeing the source photo in the pages of the...
Castles Made Of Sand
This is my second attempt at a painting with a complementary colour scheme. The two colours are Winsor orange and French ultramarine. In Quiller...
Fog Over Queendown Warren
Just the one oil pastel piece today. When I was out exploring Queendown Warren the other week, I took a photo of this stile as it looked like a...
