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...
Watercolour
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...
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...
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly: The Collection
And here they are, all together. As I expected, their positives as a set are greater than the sum of their individual positives. They're up for...
Il Brutto
So here's part 3 of 3 and that's the collection complete. Tuco followed the same methodology as the previous two paintings so, what I did (and I'm...
Il Cattivo
Number two in my The Good, The Bad And The Ugly collection is Angel Eyes, the bad one, played by Lee Van Cleef. In allocating supergranulating...
Il Buono
It's been more than a year since I painted a scene from a Western and I'm returning to that subject big time with a set of three paintings based on...
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...
Church Of San Pedro De Atacama, Chile
Another watercolour today. Here was my line of thinking: - lots of recent paintings have been in the key of orange cool: Duane Allman, I Can Read...
A Moment At Stonehenge
It was supposed to be the start of the big heatwave today but for most if the day it's been exactly the opposite. For the first time since I had...
Egyptian Sorcery
Just a quick one today. I had that one crackle pasted board still waiting to be used and wanted to cross it off my list so here goes. I started...
I Can Read Your Mind
So I had the first chance in a while to do some undisturbed painting in the studio. Well I say that but in reality I only started at 2pm and had...
A Bit Of Wood
So what have you painted today? A tree. What have you called it? A Bit Of Wood - it's the name of an Alg…. Is it an interesting composition?...
