I Wish It Could Be Christmas Every Day
A soft pastel landscape feels well overdue, especially when soft pastels have been put forward as my medium of choice for LAOTY. So that's what...
And It Makes Me Wonder
Looks like I'm taking a break from LAOTY and PAOTY prep this week then because today I fancied giving the crystalline water colours their first...
Raven S In Coloured Pencil
As expected, after Wednesday's effort, I had to come up with a coloured pencil figure today. Today's model is Raven S, someone who worked out well...

From All Of These Signs Saying “Sorry But We’re Closed”
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly was on the telly the other day. It's one long gallery of painting ideas but the shot that sprang out at me this time...
‘Cause I’ve Run Every Red Light On Memory Lane
Today it's soft pastels. These feel more like a summer medium than a winter medium and, with oil pastels being best suited to the winter, the two...

Yesterday's painting took a while and left me a little drained so I was tempted to take a day off today but I have a physio class tomorrow that...
