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...

Shaun Williamson
I've been planning to go on a trip to the seaside for four days now and for four days I've been put off by either the weather or M2 closures. On...
Drawing Practice And Inktense Experimentation
It's wet and horrible outside so I won't be doing any watercolour today. Instead I thought I'd practice my drawing and experiment a bit with the...
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...
Jenni With Her Foot On A Box
This is Jenni's fourth appearance as a model on this blog. She does some great power poses but I've not yet managed to do her justice. Let's see...
Force Of Life
So here's my second painting of the day. Again, this was all about having fun rather than creating a masterpiece. My idea on this one was to...
Daniella
I would have been back on the watercolour today but there were various things breaking up my day and watercolour requires a bit of focus so I...
Raven S
I was in the mood for drawing today and if I've learned anything over the last couple of months, being in (or not in) the mood makes a big...
Shaun Wallace, The Dark Destroyer
In yesterday's Bob Willis portrait, I felt a bit frustrated at how difficult it was to get a likeness using oil pastels when the face was so small....
Bob Willis
Look, I'll make this quick today. I was in the mood to draw a portrait and decided to go for an oil pastel of the late Bob Willis. I started...
Katya’s Back
It's been five days since the last painting as I've not quite felt in the right mood and I know from experience that if I'm not in the right move...
James Anderson
I was in the mood to do another oil pastel portrait today and I picked a source photo of James Anderson, the third highest wicket taking test...
Candace
I'm on the watercolours again today. In an attempt to find some form, I'm going for a colourful bit of figure drawing as that normally works out...
Once Upon A Time In The West Again
Time for a watercolour again and today was looking like a good day to be painting in the garden. After yesterday's success with a Western and the...
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
After such a miserable effort yesterday, I had to go back to the oil pastels today. With the watercolours it's still touch and go whether I can...
BronwynS
So here's today's second effort. A debut for BronwynS. I won't spend too long writing this one up. It doesn't deserve the time. I stared trying...
The Return Of Jazmine
I'm doing two figure drawings today. I bought a new cartridge pad the other week for my inktense drawings and started filling it out. But then a...
Rory Burns
I noticed the other day that I'd still not used my black oil pastel. With watercolours, black's a pretty boring colour and a bad mixer. I can...
Annual Self Portrait 2022
It's time for the annual self portrait and after two years of inktense pencils, this year's portrait is in oil pastels. I have a long way to go...
KylieB Sitting On A Box
Back to the figure drawing with the inktense pencils today. I've been doing a lot of these during 2022 and I expect people are getting bored with...
