Monday’s always a short day for me, so I thought this would be the perfect excuse to take a break from the posterised Newington landscapes and to...
And On Vocals
Joe Walsh
Today's painting is a portrait of Joe Walsh of The Eagles, someone who in his heyday was probably even more fun at parties than Frank Bough....
Gregg Allman In Coloured Pencil
Time for something new. This has been brewing away in my mind for a couple of weeks and I finally decided to give it a go. It's my first ever...
Gary Moore
After managing to capture the face that Warren Haynes pulls when he hits a high note, I thought I'd thought I'd try a repeat performance by...
Freddie Mercury
Right. That's enough of the Inktense pencils. I need to get back to watercolour portraits to impress any passing Portrait Of The Year Judges. I...
Amy Winehouse
I heard some of the late Amy Winehouse's music the other day. I'm guessing it must have been a question on either Only Connect or University...
Warren Haynes In Watercolour
The closing date for Portrait Artist Of The Year is on 5 February, ten days away. I've already submitted my entry but this is the time of her when...
John Lydon In Oil Pastel
It was a tough call over who to paint today. ChatGPT wasn't able to come up with any celebrities I'd ever heard of whose birthday it was today....
Albert King
Today's painting is a long overdue subject and a less overdue experiment. The subject is guitarist Albert King. I've been making my way through...
Fire
Today it's a portrait of Jimi Hendrix. You can tell that I've used the Artist Assist App again just by looking at this one. I was planning to do...
Ron “Pigpen” McKernan

Roy Wood
With one page left in my rough watercolourpaper block and that page starting to come away at the edges, I wanted to do another watercolour today...
What Happens In Manchester Stays In Manchester
Yesterday was a day for oil pastels, so I took a look through the box of CDs that I currently have out in the studio, seeking potential portrait...
Joe Strummer
I'm back from the Upchurch art exhibition now and my studio's all back to normal. I only sold the one painting, The Happiest Days Of Our Lives...
Fame
I was feeling watercoloured out today and in the mood for a different medium, so went for the oil pastels. I wanted to draw a portrait and was...
John Lydon
I wasn’t planning on doing a watercolour today but I found a photo of John Lydon that was just begging to be painted in Liz Chaderton style. In...
B. B. King
Today's not a day for watercolours. I tend to do watercolours in bursts of 2-4 successive days and with yesterday being a charcoal day and...
Eric Clapton, 1970
I've had loads of chores to do Sunday and Monday, leaving only a couple sessions available for painting. So I went for a coloured pencil portrait...
Jerry Garcia And Bob Weir, Copenhagen 1972
With all this coloured pencil jamming I've been doing lately, I've been playing a lot of Grateful Dead. YouTube has obviously gotten wind of this,...
