A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man
After two days off I needed to get back to painting today but didn't have much time available, so went for the Inktense pencils, with no long...
Sinead O’Connor
Sometimes want to painting but am in a "clean mood" and don't fancy making a mess, cover up the desk with a sheet and cleaning stuff up afterwards....
Debbie Harry
Starting to feel like I’m back in the swing of things again after this one, my first three layer posterised watercolour portrait in three weeks. ...
Monument Valley
Two weeks since the last one and I'm finally back on the soft pastel landscapes. I wanted to paint a natural landscape with no buildings, and one...
Four Colleges
I was back in the studio today but, after a long housework sesh, didn't have much time for painting. So I thought I'd go for something in the...
The Enterprise Crew
And here's the complete collection. Lined up in Sudoku formation with one red, one blue and one green/yellow shirt in each column and in each...
Chekov
And finally, completing the set we have Mr Chekov, played by Walter Koenig. I can tell it¡s him; there's a chubby, baby-faced quality to him. But...

It's taken me all day but I've joined the Amazon Associates Scheme and I've added the appropriate links to all of the book review posts on this...
Line & Wash In The Urban Landscape, Neil Whitehead – Book Review
The Enterprise Crew collection has been moving more quickly than the bathroom work, so I've had enough time on my hands to buy, study and read...

Scott
Back to the enterprise crew again and, with two blues, two yellow/greens and one red shirt to date, it's time for another red shirt. This is Mr...
Stephen Mangan
Yesterday's watercolour painting was a huge success and I've learned through experience that the best way to follow up a win like that is not to...
Entering Queendown Warren
The bathroom fitters have the day off so I'm not stuck indoors and am back in the studio today. After spending all week on market portraits, I was...
McCoy
Only time for one portrait today after that book review and it's my first ever go at Doctor McCoy, played by DeForest Kelley. It's him but it's...
Facial Expressions For Artists, Oliver Sin – Book Review
While this bathroom's being fitted, I'm not just painting portraits with the markers: I thought I'd also get some CPD in, so I've been reading this...
Kirk
Number 4 in the collection is Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner. Bill joins Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, Big Sam Allardyce and me in the...
Rand
I realised last night that the nine in this collection will comprise three each of red shirts, blue shirts and green shirts. So that makes my...
Sulu
Second in the collection is Mr Sulu, played by George Takei. It looks like the first layer of colour is yellow but it's actually lime green. ...
