I've been looking forward to this for ages. A day trip down to Margate to paint Dreamland, Margate's funfair. With the fair still being closed...

EvaE Again
A day off today. Or a day off from watercolour anyway. There's something about using inktense pencils that makes painting less tiring than using...
The Smell Of Seaweed
I've been out and about for the first time this year. I drove over to the Riverside Country Park in Gillingham and stride up and down the causeway...
An Arrogant Intrusion
I was watching an interesting video by Liron Yanconsky on YouTube the other day in which he painted a church in monochrome without putting down a...
Force Of Life
So here's my second painting of the day. Again, this was all about having fun rather than creating a masterpiece. My idea on this one was to...
Christ’s College Hall From Second Court
The artwork's slowed down this week as I've not quite been tickety. But I was feeling well enough to do something quick today, so I went for a...
Daniella
I would have been back on the watercolour today but there were various things breaking up my day and watercolour requires a bit of focus so I...
Raven S
I was in the mood for drawing today and if I've learned anything over the last couple of months, being in (or not in) the mood makes a big...
L Staircase, Christ’s College
For my first watercolour in 26 days (!) I'm back to Christ's College again. This is the entry to L staircase, a part of the college I'm very...
Tree In Christ’s Fellows’ Garden
It's been 13 days since my last painting. I've just not been in the mood. But today I'm back. I thought I'd go for the oil pastels as a gentle...
Bob Willis
Look, I'll make this quick today. I was in the mood to draw a portrait and decided to go for an oil pastel of the late Bob Willis. I started...
Katya’s Back
It's been five days since the last painting as I've not quite felt in the right mood and I know from experience that if I'm not in the right move...
Stepping Into Second Court
So, after reading that Peter Cronin book. I was keen to put his ideas into practice. I picked this view from Christ's College, Cambridge because...
The Trinity Hall Wall
I've been rereading Webb On Watercolour and was reminded of the push-pull technique which I never got around to trying out, so I thought I'd give...
Bridge Near Oswaldkirk
Oil pastels are just too much fun. Every other painting at the moment is in oil pastel and it's an oil pastel day today. I thought I'd be...
Once Upon A Time In The West Again
Time for a watercolour again and today was looking like a good day to be painting in the garden. After yesterday's success with a Western and the...
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
After such a miserable effort yesterday, I had to go back to the oil pastels today. With the watercolours it's still touch and go whether I can...
Round The Back Of Hartlip Church
I'm finally back onto the watercolours today. The weather looked good outside but the rain came along so I moved to the garage. It would have...
Animal Biscuit Valley, New Zealand
I'm still on the oil pastels but it's a landscape in New Zealand today. Well kind of. I've been a bit smart today and left out some rocks that...
Rory Burns
I noticed the other day that I'd still not used my black oil pastel. With watercolours, black's a pretty boring colour and a bad mixer. I can...
