Next up is Autumn Reeser. She's an American actress but I have to be honest here and admit to never having heard of her before now. According to...
Portraits
Donna Summer In Blue And Orange
Next up in this collection is (maybe not a surprise to some) Donna Summer. I've painted her in blue and orange. Once again I've kind of got a...
Les Dawson
After almost a week off, I'm back to painting today. After seeing how the M Graham landscape colours resulting quite restrained, grown up...
Could It Be Magic?
Today I quite fancied putting dry pigment down on the paper and wetting it. I'd already picked out a photo of Barry Manilow that might look good...
Sir Geoff Hurst
I had to order a load of paints and paper from Jackson’s the other day and was delighted to see another dot card thrown in as. Free extra. This...
Angus Young
Oh dear, this hasn’t been a great start to September. I wanted to give the fineliners another runout. To encourage myself to be looser with the...
Jesse Woodson James
For my first painting using the NeoLucida XL, I picked out a photo of Jesse James. I thought it would be a gentle way to make myself familiar with...
Peter Red, Peter Amber, Peter Green
It didn't take long for me to get around to painting Peter Green. I went for a triple portrait of Peter because his personal history made him a...
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Ok, so I've painted Devon Allman, Duane Allman, Eric Clapton, Allen Collins, Jerry Garcia, Billy Gibbons, David Gilmour, Warren Haynes. Jimi...
Mel Smith
Look, I'll make this quick today. Hartlip has been cut off from the internet, so I'm at Medway Services typing this up and quite fancy getting home...
And, By The Way, Which One Is Pink?
With there still being a bit of paint left on the Schmincke dot card, I thought I'd have another go at an abstract portrait rather than leave it...
Ilad Rodavlas
And here's the companion piece to Salvador Dali, painted in parallel. It follows pretty well the same method, the only three differences being...
Salvador Dali
So here's what I did with that Schmincke dot card. I quite fancied doing a portrait, so looked around for a simple portrait of a colourful...
Freebird!
This one's been coming for a while. It's a portrait of Allen Collins and Gary Rossington, two of the founder members of Lynyrd Skynyrd and I'm...
Mighty Mouse
Yesterday's painting was bad, very bad. I just had to come back and have another go at Kevin Keegan, acting on some of the lessons I'd learned...
Kevin Keegan
Back for another go with the crystalline watercolour and today it's my first go at using them for a portrait. Today's subject is the legend that...
Rupert Thomson
Back to painting today and I've had my first go at a portrait using the soft pastels. Today's subject was the author Rupert Thomson. I started...
Paul Auster
I started this one last night and finished it this morning. It's unusual for me to spread something over two days. It's because I started late...
No Ma’am: We’re Musicians
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...
John Henry Holliday
Yeah, June is taking a while to get started and I've gone for another easy option. It's a posterised portrait and, not only that, I've pretty well...
