Enough with the naked women, I'm back onto landscapes. This is three artworks in successive days, which is pretty unusual for me. The subject...

Sarah Ann
After a few weeks away following the loss of my father, I'm back to the artwork. And I'm glad I am. It was great to spend an hour and a half away...
Mika M, In Action
How about some figure drawing in oil pastel? I've tried it once before, here, without success but that was when I'd only just got the watercolours...
Ullapool
I fancied giving the oil pastels a go today and this is what I came up with. It's a view of Ullapool, a tiny town somewhere on the West Coast of...
Nicole Vaunt
It's still too cold to be painting outside so I'm on the inktense pencils again. Today's model is Nicole, making her debut. Because it's so cold...
Michaela
It's still too cold outside to go back to watercolours (Sunday looks promising) so I'm back with the inktense pencils today. Today's model is...
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....
The Bond Villains Collection
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...
Castles Made Of Sand
This is my second attempt at a painting with a complementary colour scheme. The two colours are Winsor orange and French ultramarine. In Quiller...
Clare Bridge In Complementary Colours
Anybody else that has read it will know straight away after looking at this that I'm reading Color Choices by Stephen Quiller. There's a full...
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...
Malayavanta Hill, In Oil Pastel
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....
