Rhus’ Back
After all that fun with the markers, I thought I really should get back to doing some proper painting with the inktense pencils. Today I'm back to...
The On The Buses Collection
And here's the complete collection. Mum does stand out a bit, to be honest, but remember that sixth portrait doubles up as Mum and Happy Harry. ...
The Allman Brothers Band
An idea came in the night to me. It was to use inktense pencils to draw some sort of skyliney landscape but negatively, leaving trees and...
The Christ’s College Maths Fellows 1982-86 Collection
And here are the four of them together in all their glory. They feed off each other and the likenesses all improve when they're together. I feel...
The Return Of Thea
It's been sixteen days since my last bit of artwork. Sorry about that. I've been playing some correspondence chess, watching the T20 cricket and...
Frank’s Wood, Leith Hill, Surrey
It's getting cold and wet outside so the number of watercolour and oil paintings that I'll be doing the rest of this year is numbered. Today I...
JenB, Taking A Breather
Not feeling inspired enough to dig out the watercolours or oil pastels today, so I've been doing some figure drawing with the inktense pencils. This...

And here's the full set in all its glory. Rosa Klebb missed out to Hugo Drax in the final cut, as already revealed. And the second Blofeld keeps...
Moon, Turn The Tides…Gently Gently Away
I'm currently reading How To Make A Watercolour Paint Itself by Nita Engle and thought I'd try out some of her ideas today with a stormy sea...

The Wind Cries Mary
I was short of ideas today, so watched a few Jean Lurssen videos on YouTube for inspiration. I was impressed by one "exercise" she did (for...
Aubrey, Getting A Tan
The second and final inktense painting of the day is a third appearance for Aubrey. My plan with this one was to use a lot less colour and have a...

Oil pastel paintings are (for me, for now) faster than watercolours, so are the ideal choice when I want to create a second work in a single day....
Malayavanta Hill, Near Hampi
I'm still on the watercolours and, yet again, I’ve gone for some precariously balanced rocks. These seem to be my thing in 2021. They're great,...
The Graduate
It's been eleven days since my last piece of work but with the sun out and some chores out of the way, the gazebo's back up in the garden and I'm...
Balanced Rock, Big Bend National Park, Texas
I was feeling a bit short of ideas so I googled for precarious rocks again and found this one in Texas. It looks a cracker with its interesting sky...
Kjeragbolten
Yesterday's paintings were bad. To help me find some form, I thought I'd look for some precarious rocks. I managed to find Kjeragbolten, which is...
