And here's the final dash and splash of the day. I didn't have to dash very far after drawing it as it's a view from my back garden, albeit with...

Archway To Hartlip Church, Dashed And Splashed
The plan was to do three dash and splashes today but we had an early dinner and I had to head home after doing two drawings. After lunch, I went...
Hartlip Village Hall
Next I wandered over to the village hall and found a comfortable place to sit and draw. I might have put the village hall slightly too high on the...
Hartlip Methodist Church
I’ve had a busy day dashing and splashing around the village. I just woke I up in that sort of mood. I started by heading for the Methodist...
Old Nuuk
Here we go then. Back on the watercolours and it's a gentle return because I'm reaching for the tundra supergranulators and doing another painting...
Blast Wall, Glazing House, Oare Gunpowder Works
I took a trip out today to Oare Gunpowder Works Country Park near Faversham. It's a forest with lots of walks through it, along with a private...
Bodin Church, Norway
My friend Cathy, who takes more photos that would make good paintings than anyone I know is currently enjoying a holiday in the frozen North and...
Avebury Stones
I was ready today to take a second stab at painting something with the Schmincke Shire watercolours. I learned some lessons from my first go that...
Clearing In Newington Woods
So, after all that swatching, here's my first go with the Shire supergranulating colours. I trekked a mile or two across some fields in the...
Nuuk Art Museum
It was always going to be another supergranulating day today. But tundra or shire? I went for tundra. The shire set is one that I might be able...
Denali National Park 2
Still making my way through my pile of new art supplies and today it's a first outing for my Schmincke supergranulating tundra watercolours. They...
Inside The Tuck Inn
After doing two drawings from the other side of the road opposite the Tuck Inn, I was ready to step inside and enjoy a milkshake while doing a...
Cherry Stand In Tuck Inn Car Park
While I was drawing the Tuck Inn, I also had one eye on a stand in the car park where someone was selling cherries. I thought it might make a good...
The Tuck Inn
This afternoon I took a stroll down to the Tuck Inn, my local purveyor of breakfast baguettes with the intention of running off another two or...
Looking Towards Hartlip House
And here's today's third effort, a different view from the same bench. The drawing feels like a step down from the first two. There are various...
Hartlip Church Porch
Next I moved position to get a view of the porch at the front of the church. I went against the advice of Alex Hillkurtz and picked a viewing...
Hartlip Church Tower 2
Tempting as it is to binge read my pile of new art instruction books, I do really need to test out some of my new art gear. First up are the...
Red House
Today's one of those weird days of the year. The day before my birthday. Who knows what sort of art gear or art books will appear tomorrow?...
New Court In Colour
Bearable temperature outside today? With worse to come, I thought it best to get out there with the watercolours while it was still possible. The...
Stonehenge III
I fancied having a go with the oil pastels today as it's been a while. It's still too hot for them outside, so I was painting indoors. To be...
