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...
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

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...
Sgurr A’Fionn Choire And Baruch Na Frithe
The distracting FIDE Candidates Tournament is over and I need to get back to painting and make up for lost time. But the test match was on this...
The White Church, Comrie, Perthshire
Painting's been taking a back seat for a few days while I've been enjoying the cricket and the chess. But the test match is over now and it's a...
Ancient Lights
Abstract landscapes don't drain me as much as serious paintings, so after the last one, I was ready for a repeat performance. After a little bit...
A Haunted Island
I'm taking a day off from serious watercolour painting today and going back to abstract landscapes. I'm going back to the palette knife technique...
Another Corner Of Stonehenge
It's June 21, the Summer Solstice, so I'm back to Stonehenge again. In a lot of ways, this followed a similar process to my previous painting, but...
A Corner Of Stonehenge
This was always going to be today's painting after all that fun testing out my Daniel Smith colours yesterday. It's two days to Summer Solstice...
