Being stuck inside all day, I don't see much hope for doing many watercolours for a while. And with me actually having a piece of work on a the...
Two Self Portraits
All these portraits I've been rattling out with markers and I only just realised that I've not done any self portraits with the markers yet. Time...
Different Tables
I'm still at Medway Services and thought I'd carry on drawing when I saw this guy in green arrive. He looked a bit sad in that beanie and had an...
Costa Coffee, Medway Services, 19 February, 2020
Off to a different Costa Coffee this time - one overlooking the M2. Rather than lots of little vignettes I thought I'd try some bigger pictures...
Costa Coffee, Hempstead Valley, 12 February 2020
I spent a bit of time in Costa this morning practicing furtively drawing people at speed. I concentrated on getting lines down and added the...
Cathy
I've fallen into a trap. Now everybody wants me to draw their portrait on their birthday. This weekend it was Cathy's birthday and this is my...
Lizzie
It's also Lizzie's birthday today, so here's another portrait. I think this is more recognisably Lizzie than Amanda was Amanda. You can see from...
Amanda
I'm quite getting into this portrait drawing with markers, although I still have a long way to go before I can call myself anything near...
View Of Cafe Nero From Costa
I'm in London today, off to see Tedeschi Trucks Band and Blackberry Smoke at Wembley Arena. Should be good. Anyway, I thought I'd take the...

Jimbo
More Tuesday portraiture and it's another bassist and Facebook friend. This is Jimbo, a mate from school, bassist with grungy rock duo Matildaz...
Roy With A Beard
It's Tuesday and Sky Portrait Artist Of The Year is on later, so I was in the mood for a bit of portraiture. Obviously using markers. I'm nowhere...
Day Trip To Canterbury
I nipped into Canterbury today for lunch with an old work colleague and thought I'd make a day of it by getting there early and giving the markers...
Nathan In Colour
My first exercise with these new markers was to trace out the picture I'd drawn of Nathan a couple of months ago and apply a bit of colour to it....
Nathan
This is the result of one of the exercises in Keys To Drawing by Bert Dodson. It's a portrait of one of my kids in the style of Henri Matisse. I...

That review of Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain is coming soon, I promise!
Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain – Progress Update
I still have one book from my birthday left to read and review. It's Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain by Betty Edwards. I'm about 40% of...
DNA
And here's the second of the day. This is all out abstract. I cracklepasted a board a couple of days ago (with watercolour ground applied to the...
Schneesturm
Two paintings today, both on cracklepasted board and both with the help of acrylic inks to bring out the cracks. This is the first. This one...
