It's been nine days since my last painting. December is too busy a month. I hope I’ve not lost any readers during the hiatus. The break might have...

After Saturday's fun with the Artgrafs, I wasn't ready to put them back in the drawer and fancied using them to paint a figure. Today's model is...

I didn't want to spend long painting today as (i) I want to finish the novel I'm reading, and (ii) want to make a start sketching tomorrow's...
EvaE In Blue And Brown
Yeh, so today I did two paintings in parallel. After deciding to paint EvaE in red and green because of the interesting way those colours mixed, I...
EvaE In Red And Green
It's been a while since I used the Artgraf Blicks, so I thought I'd give them a go today. Looking at some recent swatches, I was drawn towards the...
The Tryst
I had another go at a sky painting in soft pastels today but I'm already veering off the beaten path by going for a cloud formation that looks like...
Ansleigh In Soft Pastel
I thought I'd better have a go at a figure with soft pastels today. I've used them for a landscape and a portrait, so only fair that they should be...
Ansleigh
We're off over the road for a pub dinner at five this afternoon and I wanted to finish and write up an artwork with plenty of time to spare so I...
Anastasia
June's started slowly, just like every month. And, as is usual when I'm a little short of match practice, I'm coming back with a figure painting....
Cammie III
Time to try something new. In that Burne Hogarth book I read about something called sculptural light. It's a light and shade scheme that ignores...
AnaIv In Artgraf

After needing to take two attempts at painting the Earp brothers, I felt like I'd wasted a day of my life, so after finishing the corrected...

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...
Cammie II
After two days out on the road with the watercolours, today's weather forecast was more than welcome and I've been painting in the studio while...
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. This is Katlyn,...
Jennifer Evie II
I've been on the inktense pencils today as I wasn't feeling in the mood for watercolour. I picked out this pose by Jennifer Evie; it's her second...
More Coloured Pencil Solvent Testing
After yesterday's late night fun, I kicked off today with three more experiments with coloured pencil solvents. First, I had an overnight thought...
Ginger
A late start today because I've been reading Daniella Brambilla's book on figure drawing (review coming soon). Daniella did, though, give me an...
