I got some silverbrush black velvet brushes for Christmas and have been itching to try them out, so braved the cold today and did some painting in...

Charlie, Dobbie And Mia – Best Two Yet?
Back to those three dogs. The plans for today were to: - make the other dogs' heads more similar in size to Dobbie's - achieved! - use black...
Still More Charlie, Dobbie And Mia
Had another attempt at Charlie, Dobbie and Mia. I'm getting pretty good at Charlie on the left and it's tending to look like the same portrait...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia Again
It's been a busy day. Three works of art but two of them were so bad I'm not even going to show them here on the blog. The first was an attempt...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia
It's all very well putting together a collection of marker drawings of the Rose And Crown dogs, but I think the landlady wants a painting. While a...
Charlie
The artwork is slowing down for a while now as I'm working on another actuarial contract during the week now. But at the weekend, I'm back from...
Dobbie
Too distraught after a bad experience with the inktense pencils, I thought I'd have another go at Dobbie but with the markers. This has come out...
Dobbie On The Sofa
Last night, when I nipped over to the Rose & Crown to pick up a takeaway (I had the duck pizza since you ask), the landlady suggested she might...
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...
I Am The Eye In The Sky
So, AA, when are we going to see what you're doing with that painting of an eye from the other day? And why is it exactly that you're needing to...
Three Days Of Snow
Back to painting again today and, for reasons that will become apparent, I wanted to get in some practice at snow paintings. So I looked through...
Stephen Hawking
After John Paul Jones came out so well a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to have another go at drawing a portrait with markers by concentrating on...
Sedona, Arizona
Yesterday's High Noon painting was a bit lacking in colour for one of my creations, so I thought I'd do something colourful today: a three colour...
One For The Bin
All my artwork, good or bad, goes up on this website. That's why I'm showing you this abomination. I saw a Jean Lurssen video this morning in...
Annual Self Portrait 2020
I fancied another go with the inktense pencils but, rather than doing another female nude, thought I'd have a go at a self portrait. And,...
Winter Is Coming
I thought I'd have another go at turning an abstract underpainting into something recognisable. This time, though, I made three changes. The...
Rob Key
It's been a good summer of test cricket. I was watching it yesterday and suddenly realised that Sky cricket pundit Rob key would make a great...
Exposure
Headed over the road to the Rose & Crown at Hartlip To order a lunchtime takeaway for tomorrow (GCSE results day). I couldn’t resist taking a...
The Rose & Crown, Hartlip
First the news. I will be heading along to filming of Landscape Artist Of The Year in a couple of days as a wildcard entry. That's why I've been...
Stephen Hawking Reading The Guardian
Ok. Time to try out the inktense pencils properly. I had two gos at doing a painting of a young Stephen Hawking reading The Guardian. The idea...
