Another watercolour today. I wanted to have another go with the desert supergranulators supplemented with cool blues after they worked out so well...

Inverie In Tundra Colours
I didn't stay away long. I'm back to paint Inverie again, this time using the tundra supergranulators. I've chosen a different viewpoint and was...
The Old Forge In Watercolour
I'm back on the watercolours and couldn't resist having another go at The Old Forge in Ivernie. It was tempting have a go at this scene in tundra...
The Old Forge, Inverie
This, or at least the building on the far left, is The Old Forge, a pub in the village of Inverie on the Knoydart Peninsula. It was in the news...
Torre Nubia
After that View From Ardtinish Castle, that dear old boy Howard has done it again and come up with another amazing holiday photo made up of simple...
View From Ardtornish Castle
An old mate from Uni, Howard, was recently on holiday in the Scottish Highlands and Islands and posted loads of photos on Facebook. The one on...
The Mukurob (Finger Of God)
So after finishing Hazel Soan's African Watercolours I wanted to strike while the iron was hot and paint something influenced by the book. For...
Queendown Warren Car Park
So here's my first ever charcoal painting. It's of the entrance to a car park in Queendown Warren, somewhere between Hartlip and Medway Services....
Tundra Colours
This painting was long overdue. I'd had these tundra colours for a while and had painted a few snowy scenes in Nuuk, Greenland plus the odd U.K....
Look Over Yonder
I'm still on the watercolours today but not in the mood to work long and hard at a painting. Maybe it's because The Ashes are on; maybe it's...
Sky Above Hartlip Church
I'm back on to watercolours today and onto my proper palette rather than following any Schmincke supergranulator cheat codes, much as a love...
A Hot Day In Nuuk
It was part 2 of the challenge today. After painting a rocky scene with the tundra supergranulators yesterday, I wanted to paint an Arctic scene...
Abandoned Quarry Ruins, Carbilly Tor, Bodmin Moor
Right, enough messing about. I really should be doing more watercolour painting. I had an idea in my comfy chair last night at about midnight....
Bridge Over The River Risopatron
So after that brief dalliance with the Artgrafs this morning, I was back to the watercolours in the afternoon. For subject matter, I picked out...
Heeeere’s Jonny
I’ve had an idea for another set of marker portraits to get started on but had just one page left in a sketchbook and didn't want the set to...
Towards Stockbury From Queendown Warren
Back to the artwork after a few days off, and this is looking like an understated return but there are few things that I tried out in this one,...
View From First Post Corner, Cambridge
So after that last painting I followed a footpath that I'm sure didn't exist back in my day into Fenn Ditton to grab a lunchtime pint at The...
The Long Reach, Cambridge
So today I headed out to the river to do some painting. Not being allowed to paint inside colleges and having my building draftmanship confidence...
Looking In From Christ’s Pieces
For reasons (d) other I'm in Cambridge for a couple of days and brought most of my gear with me to do some painting. I forgot the kitchen roll and...
All Saints’ Church, Cambridge
It got to about half past five tonight, and after starting out thinking I was having a day off, I thought I might make a start on a coloured pencil...
