I only had the energy for a quick painting today, so went for an idea that's been kicking around for a few days. A line drawing using fineliners...

A few things to do today so I thought I'd have the day off and read a book but the kindle battery died on me during the afternoon so I thought I'd...
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...

After two days out on the road with the watercolours, today's weather forecast was more than welcome and I've been painting in ten studio while the...
Katlyn
I asked the iPad again for a painting idea and it suggested I paint a figure in oil pastels, so that's what I've done today. Â This is Katlyn,...
Jennifer Evie II

I'm back on the Artrafs today, aware of my promise from last time to hold back on the blue and not make the darks too dark. So here goes. Â It's a...
Ameeka
Back on the Artgrafs today, and I'm painting Ameeka for the first time. I thought I’d try replicating the success of  Thea 5 by using the exact...

Still not feeling the watercolours so today's an Artgraf day. Â It's also a day of experimentation because I've bought a hot pressed watercolour...
Thea 5
Today's been quite a short day but, with England playing cricket tomorrow, I didn't want to take what would be two days off, so I went for a quick...
Susan
Monday's housework day and BBC2 quiz night so tends not to be a proper painting day. Â But after a couple of days off I thought I'd better have a go...
Lumen F In Artgraf
The day's not over and I have gone for one more painting! Â While my mind was still in the zone I thought I'd do that second Artgraf painting, this...
