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...
Other Subject Matter
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...
KeiraG
I didn't want to go straight back to the oil pastels today. I had this feeling that if I did go for them I'd be impatient and rushed. Better to...
Sarah Ann
After a few weeks away following the loss of my father, I'm back to the artwork. And I'm glad I am. It was great to spend an hour and a half away...
Mika M, In Action
How about some figure drawing in oil pastel? I've tried it once before, here, without success but that was when I'd only just got the watercolours...
Ross Kemp
Wednesday night is Landscape Of The Year night. But just before LAOTY is a repeat of Portrait Artist Of The Year that I don't watch, having seen...
The Listener
My Dad's had a new kitchen fitted. When I dropped in to see him, I rescued a bunch of old kitchen shelves from a skip in the drive with the...
Ruby
I did say that Jean Haines had inspired me to go out and paint animals. And three days after the book was published, I've painted our cavalier...
Nicole Vaunt
It's still too cold to be painting outside so I'm on the inktense pencils again. Today's model is Nicole, making her debut. Because it's so cold...
Michaela
It's still too cold outside to go back to watercolours (Sunday looks promising) so I'm back with the inktense pencils today. Today's model is...
Rhus’ Back
After all that fun with the markers, I thought I really should get back to doing some proper painting with the inktense pencils. Today I'm back to...
The On The Buses Collection
And here's the complete collection. Mum does stand out a bit, to be honest, but remember that sixth portrait doubles up as Mum and Happy Harry. ...
Mabel Edith Butler
And here it is, the final piece in the On The Buses collection. It's Mum, played by the late Doris Hare. And, yes, I know, I've cheated here by...
Stan Butler
Number five in the On The Buses collection is Stan Butler, played by the late Reg Varney, equally famous for being the first person ever to use a...
Olive Rudge
Number four in the On The Buses collection is Olive, played by Anna Karen. Recognisable but not a great likeness. That's starting to become the...
