So after the disaster that was Brie In A Chair, I did another drawing straight away. It's back to another old favourite, Kevin, who I've painted...

For A Nosy Parker It’s An Interestin’ Job
After putting together the underpainting that I described in the previous post, I spent most of today trying to work out what to do with it. The...
Thatch Cottage, Hartlip
And here it is, the first of a series of paintings based on my home village of Hartlip. This is Thatch Cottage, a cottage that's been rethatched...
Richard Feynman
I had another read of my Charles Reid book last night (Painting By Design) and saw a couple of his videos on YouTube this morning, so thought it...
Moose On The Phoenix Trail
Reading that George Blacklock book during the week I started to think about how artists like Dali, Mageitte and Blacklock himself have common theme...
The Old Man Of Tarsuinn
Today's subject is the Old Man of Tarsuinn, another rocky formation but this time closer to home on the Isle of Arran. Looking through my swatch...
The Hoodoo Watch
The weather was good enough today to spend a bit of time painting properly in the garden. The subject matter is a set of hoodoos. These are weird...
Landscape Artist Of The Year
The program's over. Nice that I got a big soundbite talking about how I was going to be painting on a map. It's a shame that they only announced...
Colour Bugs
Now that the squad is selected, it's time to follow up that trial of the reds with a full scale workout for the new set of colours. Rather than...
Mark Ruffalo
After Chadwick Boseman came out so well just after after Christmas, I thought I'd build a team and use him as the first in a series of MCU Avengers...

Another go at an expressive, gestural bit of figure drawing. I picked a pose by Heather for this one, wanting something simpler and quite liking...
Gestural AnaIv
I was in the mood to take some risks today, so I thought I'd have a go at a technique recommended by Bill Buchman in Expressive Figure Drawing....
Kevin
After all the dog drawing I needed a break last weekend but I'm back with the inktense pencils today. To start off, here's a new model, Kevin. I...
Heather
Time for a break from the dogs, so I did a bit of figure drawing. Today's model is Heather. I chose quite a straightforward pose with an easily...
Easter Island
I might have settled into a rut. It's quite easy to keep drawing naked figures with inktense pencils, shading in the shadows and painting over...
JenB, Kneeling
It's JenB again! This is my third drawing of her. Her poses are just consistently powerful, and that's what keeps me coming back to her. Today's...
JenB, Recumbent
Much too early to put my gear away, so I followed up the marker portrait with a bit of figure drawing. This is JenB's second appearance as one of...
Michael Clarke Duncan
Ok, so there was still time left in the day for a portrait with the markers. The Daredevil film was on the telly the other day and I couldn't help...
