Tommy Cooper
I've not had the markers out for a while and it's raining outside, so I'm having a go at a couple of portraits today. I'm not convinced by my last...
Time
This run of village paintings is all very well but if I don't vary things around a bit, I'll settle into a rut and never get any better. So I...
Mandy
I've had a few days off and I really should get back to making the most of this break between jobs and doing some painting. Today I planned five...
Kevin, Annoyed
So after the disaster that was Brie In A Chair, I did another drawing straight away. It's back to another old favourite, Kevin, who I've painted...
Brie On A Chair
I'm taking a break from the watercolour for a day or two, so I've moved back to figure drawing with the inktense pencils today. First up is one of...
For A Nosy Parker It’s An Interestin’ Job
After putting together the underpainting that I described in the previous post, I spent most of today trying to work out what to do with it. The...
Abstract Beginnings
Yesterday I kicked off an abstract painting. I put on some masking tape and some directional masking fluid spatters. Then laid on some nice thick...
Cathy Jean
Back to the inktense pencils and figure drawing. All these different artistic styles and media are like spinning plates and if I don't keep...
Richard Feynman
I had another read of my Charles Reid book last night (Painting By Design) and saw a couple of his videos on YouTube this morning, so thought it...
Moose On The Phoenix Trail

Where do I start with this one? Well, I’ve been thinking of doing something like this all week, dividing the paper up and doing lots of little...
Best Of The Wildcards
I wanted to push that Spider-Man drawing down the list and it's still another five days to the weekend, so I thought I'd do something different and...
Elizabeth Olsen
I'm back onto putting my Avengers team together. Next up is Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch. The Avengers aren't the Avengers without a...
Tom Holland
Before I talk about this one, a big hello to anyone that's here for the first time after seeing my brief appearance on Landscape Artist Of The...
Landscape Artist Of The Year
The program's over. Nice that I got a big soundbite talking about how I was going to be painting on a map. It's a shame that they only announced...
Landscape Artist Of The Year
I'll be in this week's Landscape Artist Of The Year as a wildcard. Sky Arts is free to view and is available via both Freeview and Freesat. I...
Becca And Daniel
Too much swatching, time for some artwork. I wasn't feeling up to going the full watercolour today so decided to do my first bit of inktense...
Colour Bugs
Now that the squad is selected, it's time to follow up that trial of the reds with a full scale workout for the new set of colours. Rather than...
Robert Downey Junior
My second and final portrait of the day. It's another in the Avengers collection and it's Robert Downey Junior who played Iron Man. As Iron Man,...
