I started off intending to keep pressing my case for PAOTY but halfway through this one got the rejection email. It will be at least another year...
Football
Big Ron Atkinson
Got or keep going with these posterised portraits. Twelve days to go before the PAOTY lineup is announced. Looking through my waiting list of...
Steve Clarke
There's been too much other stuff going on lately for me to be able to do any painting since Saturday. One of those distractions was Scotland's...
Carlo Ancelotti
Back into my comfort zone today with a posterised portrait using the Shire colours, following my usual process. This is Carlo Ancelotti, one of...
Lee Carsley
It struck me, watching the football the other night, that the England interim manager Lee Carsley would make a great portrait subject. His eyes...
Sir Geoff Hurst
I had to order a load of paints and paper from Jackson’s the other day and was delighted to see another dot card thrown in as. Free extra. This...
Mighty Mouse
Yesterday's painting was bad, very bad. I just had to come back and have another go at Kevin Keegan, acting on some of the lessons I'd learned...
Kevin Keegan
Back for another go with the crystalline watercolour and today it's my first go at using them for a portrait. Today's subject is the legend that...
Alan Shearer
Lots of stuff going on at the moment so I thought I'd be better off just going for a quick inktense pencil painting today and give the sepia...
Ally MacLeod
A grim day today with a power cut in the morning and then no WiFi when the power came back on so I'm grabbing a sneaky coffee in Costa while I...
Brian Clough’s Finger
I thought I'd have a go at painting Brian Clough today. It was always going to happen at some point. I had a choice between source photos and...
Three-One!
Something about that Joe Jordan painting yesterday put me in a nostalgic mood and wanting to keep going back to the 1978 World Cup. And the...
Joe Jordan
Today I have been mostly painting a portrait of Joe Jordan. As he's wearing a Scotland shirt it seemed appropriate to paint this one with three...
The Dragons Den Collection
And here it is: the complete collection of dragons. As expected, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. These look great and the...
Aaaaagggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
Don't tell me that you didn't see this one coming. On this week's Dragons Den there will be a sixth dragon and six is a much better number for a...
Big Sam In Charcoal
This is one I've been planning for a while. Ever since I read the Nathan Fowkes book, I've been meaning to do a charcoal portrait. And as this...
Sir Bobby Charlton
Sorry everybody. I screwed up today. Rather than doing a fourth portrait in a row I should have switched back to painting planets. I need to...
Big Sam In Coloured Pencil
I still have loads of new art gear to try out, so no dash and splash for me today. It’s time to give the coloured pencils a first outing. For...
Sam Allardyce
I'm still in too much of a rush today. After that Gareth Southgate disaster, I thought I'd move on to Big Sam. At least I know from drawing him...
Gareth Southgate
So the Euros have started and I'll be watching all three games today. That's two good reasons for doing this inknse portrait of Gareth Southgate -...
