Where do I start with this one? Well, I’ve been thinking of doing something like this all week, dividing the paper up and doing lots of little...
All Artwork
The Old Man Of Tarsuinn
Today's subject is the Old Man of Tarsuinn, another rocky formation but this time closer to home on the Isle of Arran. Looking through my swatch...
The Hoodoo Watch
The weather was good enough today to spend a bit of time painting properly in the garden. The subject matter is a set of hoodoos. These are weird...
Life On Venus
I needed to do some painting this week. I enjoy doing portraits with markers and figure drawing with inktense pencils but painting is my bread and...
Elizabeth Olsen
I'm back onto putting my Avengers team together. Next up is Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch. The Avengers aren't the Avengers without a...
Tom Holland
Before I talk about this one, a big hello to anyone that's here for the first time after seeing my brief appearance on Landscape Artist Of The...
Landscape Artist Of The Year
The program's over. Nice that I got a big soundbite talking about how I was going to be painting on a map. It's a shame that they only announced...
Becca And Daniel
Too much swatching, time for some artwork. I wasn't feeling up to going the full watercolour today so decided to do my first bit of inktense...
Colour Bugs
Now that the squad is selected, it's time to follow up that trial of the reds with a full scale workout for the new set of colours. Rather than...
Trial Of The Reds
It's that time of year when my mind turns to selecting a squad of colours to occupy my palette. Well, one of my palettes. I have a palette of 24...
Robert Downey Junior
My second and final portrait of the day. It's another in the Avengers collection and it's Robert Downey Junior who played Iron Man. As Iron Man,...
Mark Ruffalo
After Chadwick Boseman came out so well just after after Christmas, I thought I'd build a team and use him as the first in a series of MCU Avengers...
The Regeneration Of Lord Ernie
I got some silverbrush black velvet brushes for Christmas and have been itching to try them out, so braved the cold today and did some painting in...
Chadwick Boseman
It's only 28th December but a new year's artwork kicks off here. I wanted to have another go at a black and white portrait against a black...
Gestural Heather
Another go at an expressive, gestural bit of figure drawing. I picked a pose by Heather for this one, wanting something simpler and quite liking...
Gestural AnaIv
I was in the mood to take some risks today, so I thought I'd have a go at a technique recommended by Bill Buchman in Expressive Figure Drawing....
Cross-Legged Jenni
For my second effort today, I'm back to Jenni for the third time. I picked a pose that didn't have much shadow to it in the hope that I could make...
Kevin
After all the dog drawing I needed a break last weekend but I'm back with the inktense pencils today. To start off, here's a new model, Kevin. I...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia – Best Two Yet?
Back to those three dogs. The plans for today were to: - make the other dogs' heads more similar in size to Dobbie's - achieved! - use black...
Heather
Time for a break from the dogs, so I did a bit of figure drawing. Today's model is Heather. I chose quite a straightforward pose with an easily...
