Got to keep those plates spinning. Today I was painting with the inktense pencils. This is a new model for me, Mika M. For colours, I started...

JenB, Sitting
It's absolutely roasting outside. I promise never again to claim it's too cold outside to paint. But this weather! Too hot, too sweaty and too...
Gabrielle
More inktense figure drawing as promised. This is a new model for me: Gabrielle. For colours today, I used bark, baked earth, leaf green,...
Kristina Marie
It's been raining for a few days and there's a lot of wind predicted for tomorrow morning, so the gazebo's down and I'm not painting in the garden....
Sam Allardyce
I'm still in too much of a rush today. After that Gareth Southgate disaster, I thought I'd move on to Big Sam. At least I know from drawing him...
Gareth Southgate
So the Euros have started and I'll be watching all three games today. That's two good reasons for doing this inknse portrait of Gareth Southgate -...
Jazmine
I've not done my artwork lately. Too busy with a correspondence chess tournament - these things tend to take over your life. But with one game...
Margaret
Inktense pencils are just too much fun to draw with, so here's another. It's a debut for Margaret. I've cropped her so I get no hands or feet. ...
Kevin At The Interview
It's too hot outside today: watercolour paint will dry far too quickly. So I'm indoors with the inktense pencils. It's back to one of my...
Annual Self Portrait 2021

Ten Greatest Chess Players

Michael, Kneeling
There really needs to be a Sky Naked Figure Drawing Of The Year program. I'm sure I could make a decent crack of it. Inktense pencils are the...
Mandy
I've had a few days off and I really should get back to making the most of this break between jobs and doing some painting. Today I planned five...
Kevin, Annoyed
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...
Brie On A Chair
I'm taking a break from the watercolour for a day or two, so I've moved back to figure drawing with the inktense pencils today. First up is one of...
Cathy Jean
Back to the inktense pencils and figure drawing. All these different artistic styles and media are like spinning plates and if I don't keep...
Becca And Daniel
Too much swatching, time for some artwork. I wasn't feeling up to going the full watercolour today so decided to do my first bit of inktense...
Gestural Heather
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....
Cross-Legged Jenni
For my second effort today, I'm back to Jenni for the third time. I picked a pose that didn't have much shadow to it in the hope that I could make...
