The Humber Bridge Under Three Different Skies
With one eye on my preferred Landscape Of The Year venue, today was a day to paint another bridge under three different skies. Unfortunately my...
Queendown Warren In Three Complementary Colour Schemes
Not much time to paint again today but I do need to keep in practice. I decided to go for an experimental painting that wouldn't take much...
The City
After yesterday's experimentation I wanted to use all the lessons from it as quickly as possible, so that's what I've been doing today. I started...
Because The Night
I was in an experimental mood today.  I wanted to try out more of my new Inktense pencil colours, the saddle brown and sepia ink not having been...
Lewes Castle
Here's a question for you. Â Who had a UK number one in the 1979s with D.I.V.O.R.C.E.? Â Good guess but you're wrong. Â It was Billy Connolly with a...

Uranus
After a bit of a break, I'm back on the planets again. Â Today it's Uranus. Â All eight planets revolve around the sun in roughly the same plane and...
Mercury
Today's planet is Mercury, sharing its name with the messenger of the Roman gods and therefore deserving of a pair or wings. Â For the three colours...
The Face Of Mars
Another day, another planet. Â My latest idea for planet paintings (to go with the ideas of random surrealness and Roman gods) is to think about...
Jupiter And Io
Seventeen days since my last watercolour and I'm finally back. Â The idea for this one popped into my head while out on my walk yesterday. Â I've no...
I Can Read Your Mind
So I had the first chance in a while to do some undisturbed painting in the studio. Â Well I say that but in reality I only started at 2pm and had...
Looking At You
So here it is. Â I've finally gotten around to using the second of the shelves I helped myself to when the in laws threw out that old fridge. Â The...
Zaza II
So, as promised yesterday, I had another go at painting Zaza using the Artgraf colours. Â I've used exactly the same pose but have made a change to...

I'm back on the Artgraf paints today for a number of reasons. Â It's pouring with rain outside for a start. Â And I'm a little bit distracted by the...
Adrina In Watercolour
My plan today was to play things fast and loose by putting down a random colourful underpainting and then to convert it to something else with some...
