This Is Not My Sandwich
I've not done enough portraits lately and thought I'd work my way back in gently with the crystalline watercolours. This is Catherine Tate as the...
Sean Connery
I’ve been feeling pretty grot this week and I know from experience that if I paint when I don't feel like painting I'm not going to come up with...
Sir Roger Moore
I thought I'd have another go at Sir Roger Moore today. He's one of a number of people that I feel I owe a portrait after having had a go once and...
Spectre Of The Gun
The idea for this one came to me last night. I was googling around, looking at reviews of some forthcoming Star Trek episodes and found this still...
The Enterprise Crew
And here's the complete collection. Lined up in Sudoku formation with one red, one blue and one green/yellow shirt in each column and in each...
Chekov
And finally, completing the set we have Mr Chekov, played by Walter Koenig. I can tell it¡s him; there's a chubby, baby-faced quality to him. But...
Chappell
Number eight in the enterprise crew is Nurse Chappell, played by Majel Barrett. Probably the worst likeness so far, but there's a fear there in...
Uhura
Next up in the Enterprise crew is Uhura, played by Nichelle Nichols. Only two more to go now. The likeness still isn't perfect. I'm starting...
Scott
Back to the enterprise crew again and, with two blues, two yellow/greens and one red shirt to date, it's time for another red shirt. This is Mr...
Stephen Mangan
Yesterday's watercolour painting was a huge success and I've learned through experience that the best way to follow up a win like that is not to...
McCoy
Only time for one portrait today after that book review and it's my first ever go at Doctor McCoy, played by DeForest Kelley. It's him but it's...
Kirk
Number 4 in the collection is Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner. Bill joins Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, Big Sam Allardyce and me in the...
Rand
I realised last night that the nine in this collection will comprise three each of red shirts, blue shirts and green shirts. So that makes my...
Sulu
Second in the collection is Mr Sulu, played by George Takei. It looks like the first layer of colour is yellow but it's actually lime green. ...
Spock
These are tricky times. We're having one of our bathrooms done up over the next week or two and this means I'm not able to spend as much time in...
Edith Keeler
Star Trek's on five night a week on Legend Xtra at the moment and has already inspired one painting. Tonight's episode is The City On The Edge Of...
Dave Best
Another portrait today for the benefit of those lovely PAOTY judges. Today's subject is Dave Best from The Royle Family, played by the great comedy...
What Are Little Girls Made Of?
Today's subject matter is a still from Star Trek TOS. It's a still from What Are Little Girls Made, featuring Sherry Jackson and Ted Cassidy as the...
Alan Davies
Right, time to get down to some proper work and to produce some posterised paintings that will impress the Portrait Artist Of The Year judges when...
