As I said yesterday, after a couple of landscape paintings featuring the tundra supergranulators, I needed to do something different before a...

Luana In Inktense Pencil
The dog's pretty well back to normal now after two bouts of illness, so I've been able to get back out to the studio. As is normal after a longish...
Kristy Jo II
I wasn't in the mood for hard work today, probably because I'm only 40 pages away from the end of a 1300+ page long Murakami novel and feeling...
InnaBG In Inktense Pencil
At last it's happened. I've managed to create a figure painting in Inktense pencil the way I wanted, with lots of white space and with darks that...
Candace In Inktense Pencil
I’ve booked the train tickets and am all set for a trip to the National Gallery tomorrow. Being the neat and tidy guy that I am, that means that...
CharlieK With Sword
Oil pastels today and it's a figure painting and a third appearance on the blog for CharlieK. Make her feel welcome. I picked out a pose that...
Kristy Jo
After the big project, I’m back to one and done paintings. I thought I'd go for the inktense pencils as I’ve not used them for a couple of months...
BethR In Charcoal
Time to have another go at a charcoal figure and to put Anthony Ryder's lessons to use. They worked last weekend, so why not keep going? Today's...
AnaIv In Charcoal
After reading Anthony Ryder's book, I was keen to put some of his ideas into practice as soon as possible, so I've been doing some figure drawing...
Ameeka III
Someone made a comment on LinkedIn about my painting of Alex, saying that she liked how the viewer had to do a little work before the image would...
Hey Joe
I was in the mood for a figure painting with sensible colours today. I'd already picked out a photo of a male model called Joe, one that had lots...
One Rainy Wish
July is looking like a slow month. There's just too much sun at the moment; I get back from my morning walk and I'm to trashed to paint. This is...
Just Believe In Me Baby And I’ll Take You Away
After Galen went so well earlier this month, I thought I'd have another go with the Artgraf blocks. This time, though, it's a figure painting. The...
Now You Act A Little Colder Like You Don’t Seem To Care
You know what? I've done one posterised landscape and plenty of posterised portraits using the trippy colour scheme but until today had never...
BethR Returns
Sometimes I find a book that I can't put down. That happened to me this week, which is why I've been quiet for a few days. But I've finished the...
Dawn-Marie x3
I was in the mood for an Inktense pencil figure painting today. I looked around for a good model and pose and found Dawn-Marie, a model I've not...
EvaE In Oil Pastel
I thought I'd better give the oil pastels an outing while the weather is still cold enough for them to not melt. And with all my landscapes being...
CasD, Drinks Break
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...
Kerri
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...
PeachK
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...
