Uranus
After a bit of a break, I'm back on the planets again. Today it's Uranus. All eight planets revolve around the sun in roughly the same plane and...

Today's been quite a short day but, with England playing cricket tomorrow, I didn't want to take what would be two days off, so I went for a quick...
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...
Donald Trump
I took a break from the planets today. A charcoal painting is long overdue and I thought I'd have a go at a charcoal portrait for the first time....
Mercury
Today's planet is Mercury, sharing its name with the messenger of the Roman gods and therefore deserving of a pair or wings. For the three colours...
The Face Of Mars
Another day, another planet. My latest idea for planet paintings (to go with the ideas of random surrealness and Roman gods) is to think about...
Susan
Monday's housework day and BBC2 quiz night so tends not to be a proper painting day. But after a couple of days off I thought I'd better have a go...
Neptune
This is the second in my series of paintings of the planets and today it's Neptune. There was a question on University Challenge the other week...
Jupiter And Io

Dalwhinnie Distillery
It's the weekend and the builders are off for the weekend so I'm back in the studio for a couple of days. What to paint though? Well, I can't...
The Mukurob In Green Warm
After a huge gap of twenty seven days, I was back on the watercolours today. I was feeling a bit bereft of inspiration, so went for The Mukurob...
Derek Trucks
I've painted a lot of guitarists over years in various different media but until now I've not gotten around to my favourite. My favourite living...
LumenF
I didn't have much time today but still wanted to do some painting so went for a bit of figure drawing with the inktense pencils. It's LumenF's...
Disapproval From Mount Rushmore
Another watercolour today. I wanted to have another go with the desert supergranulators supplemented with cool blues after they worked out so well...
Inverie In Tundra Colours
I didn't stay away long. I'm back to paint Inverie again, this time using the tundra supergranulators. I've chosen a different viewpoint and was...
The Old Forge In Watercolour
I'm back on the watercolours and couldn't resist having another go at The Old Forge in Ivernie. It was tempting have a go at this scene in tundra...
