Before I start talking art, a bit of news. I retired on Tuesday. Eighteen months without a contract and the likelihood of my father's will being...

Bailey
After a few days off dealing with all sorts of other stuff in my life, I'm back to work again. Today it's some figure drawing in coloured pencils...
Felicia In Inktense Pencil
It's raining again and three successive days of drawing with coloured pencils would see my standards really drop, so I'm back to inktense pencils....
Felicia
It's still raining here and more's due tomorrow. I know I'm overdue a watercolour but I can't be going outside in this weather, so I'm stuck...
Thea’s Back
More angular figure drawing and today's model was Thea. You know the drill by now. Put down the drawing with lots of straight lines, put on lots...
Niecy
It's been a while but the weather today was just right for oil pastels. No rain, warm enough to paint outside, not so hot that the pastels melt....
Sam
It's raining outside, which is a big frustration because I have a great idea for my next watercolour. Instead I'm stuck indoors and thought I'd...
Miriam
Only half the day available today for painting so I reached for the coloured pencils. It's a modelling debut today for Miriam. Please make her...
JenH In Coloured Pencil
It was still raining today, so no watercolours. Instead, I went for the experiment at the top of my list. I know that angular figure drawing of...

The weather wasn't looking good today so I stayed indoors. After a run of straight edged figure drawing s with the coloured pencils, I'm back to...

I headed out to my local Hobbycraft yesterday to do some shopping. I bought replacements for seven or eight colours that seem to be shrinking down...

CharlieK’s Back
I won't be going outside to paint during this latest heatwave, so I'm back on the coloured pencils and doing some figure drawing: my first go with...
Candle
Back on the inktense pencils today. Got to keep all those plates spinning. Today's model is Candle, making her debut on theses pages. Colours...
Sarah Ann, Pensive
It's just too hot outside to paint this week, so I'll be having a run on the inktense pencils. Today I picked a pose by Sarah Ann, someone I've...
Adrina In Inktense Pencil
After that last painting, I wanted to have another go at painting Adrina in this pose, so it was back to the inktense pencils. It's quite good...
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...
Charlie K
Wasn't feeling up to a landscape today so I reached for the inktense pencils for a bit of figure drawing. Today's model is Charlie K, making her...
Wake Up Kevin!
The second series of Drawers Off started on Channel & this week. I didn’t watch much of the first series: requiring the artists to all take...
EvaE Again
A day off today. Or a day off from watercolour anyway. There's something about using inktense pencils that makes painting less tiring than using...
