Cher
Before I head back to watercolours tomorrow, I thought I really should give the marker pens a quick go. So I googled for black and white celebrity...

More inktense figure drawing as promised. This is a new model for me: Gabrielle. For colours today, I used bark, baked earth, leaf green,...

The Far Country

I was flicking through one of my Jean Haines books last night for inspiration and decided to do something in her style today. the subject matter...
The Sea Fit
Two paintings in one day and the second is even better than the first. After doing that first painting, it felt too early to be stopping but I...

There's good news and bad news on the painting front. First the bad news. I won't be appearing on the next series of Landscape Artist Of The...
