With one page left in my rough watercolourpaper block and that page starting to come away at the edges, I wanted to do another watercolour today...

What Happens In Manchester Stays In Manchester
Yesterday was a day for oil pastels, so I took a look through the box of CDs that I currently have out in the studio, seeking potential portrait...
DanM
Since reading the Douglas Graves book, I've been intending to try out some figure drawing with the charcoal. I got around to it today with...
Joe Strummer
I'm back from the Upchurch art exhibition now and my studio's all back to normal. I only sold the one painting, The Happiest Days Of Our Lives...
InnaBG
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. 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...
The Corbomite Manouver Collection
And here they are, all together. Spock, Kirk and Scotty. None of them brilliant individual paintings but as a set of three I think they look...
First Officer Spock
I know I said I might not end up completing the Corbomite Manouver Collection but after putting Kirk and Scotty alongside each other I could see...
Venus And The Petrova Line
I'm back on the planets again and today it's Venus. It took me a long time to come up with an idea about how to make a painting of Venus a bit...
Mick Fleetwood
You know what? I did end up finding a photo of Mick Fleetwood that would make a great portrait. It was a pretty monochrome photo and was close to...
Krys
Still not feeling the watercolours so today's an Artgraf day. It's also a day of experimentation because I've bought a hot pressed watercolour...
Fame
I was feeling watercoloured out today and in the mood for a different medium, so went for the oil pastels. I wanted to draw a portrait and was...
Captain James Tiberius Kirk
Today I had a go at the second in The Corbomite Manouver collection. Today it's Captain Kirk, painted using the Shire supergranulators, befitting...
Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott
Sometimes great ideas come into my head on my daily walks. Today was one of those days. Earlier this year I put together The Good The Bad and the...
Uranus
After a bit of a break, I'm back on the planets again. Today it's Uranus. All eight planets revolve around the sun in roughly the same plane and...
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...
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...
John Lydon
I wasn’t planning on doing a watercolour today but I found a photo of John Lydon that was just begging to be painted in Liz Chaderton style. In...
B. B. King
Today's not a day for watercolours. I tend to do watercolours in bursts of 2-4 successive days and with yesterday being a charcoal day and...
Donald Trump
I took a break from the planets today. A charcoal painting is long overdue and I thought I'd have a go at a charcoal portrait for the first time....
