I've entered Landscape Artist Of The Year again. For my main landscape submission, I chose Hartlip Church In The Snow. I was allowed to submit a...

Number Two Twinned With Hartlip Church In The Snow
And here are those two paintings together.
Thea
Still pouring with rain outside: I think I might be done with watercolour and oil pastel until the new year. So it's more figure drawing today and...
JenB, Taking A Breather
Not feeling inspired enough to dig out the watercolours or oil pastels today, so I've been doing some figure drawing with the inktense pencils....
The Bond Villains Collection
And here's the full set in all its glory. Rosa Klebb missed out to Hugo Drax in the final cut, as already revealed. And the second Blofeld keeps...
Hugo Drax
And here he is, a late substitute joins the team. As Rosa Klebb limps off in disgrace, on comes Hugo Drax, played by Michael Lonsdale in...
Rosa Klebb
I'm up early to finish off the Bond villains collection. So here's Rosa Klebb, played by Lotte Lenya in From Russia With Love. I'm a bit shocked...
Emilio Largo
Next up in the Bond villain collection is Emelio Largo, aka Number Two (I believe). He was played by Adolfo Celi in Thunderball. I picked a...
Another Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Some new blue pearl markers arrived in the post last night. Without these, I wasn't able to do any drawing yesterday as this colour so proving to...
Oddjob
Ah, Oddjob. Played by Harold Sakata in Goldfinger, he was always going to be in this collection once I'd moved on to henchmen. Once again, I...
Zbigniew Krycsiwiki
First up today is Zbigniew Krycsikiki, aka Jaws. My definition of Bond villains has extended to include henchmen. Jaws was played by Richard Kiel...
Francisco Scaramanga And Nick Nack
And here's the second and last drawing for today. Scaramanga and Nick Nack, played by Christopher Lee and Hervé Villechaize respectively in The...
Doctor Julius No
Now that I've convinced myself these are my takes on Bond villains and not just portraits of the actors that played them, I feel liberated and am...
Ernst Stavro Blofeld
These marker portraits always come in pairs, so here's another Bond villain - Donald Pleasence as Blofeld in You Only Live Twice. Except that my...
Auric Goldfinger
I might have only awarded that Emily Ball book one palette but it has got me mood to do some portraits and, in particular to try to get the gaze...
El Bandito
Today's painting started off from a reference photo of Lee Van Cleef in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly but I never could get any sort of likeness...
Ann And Rebecca On The Shiraz
With England poised to score an innings victory over India at Headingley, it was never going to be anything but the inktense pencils today. I'm...
Aubrey, Getting A Tan
The second and final inktense painting of the day is a third appearance for Aubrey. My plan with this one was to use a lot less colour and have a...
Mika M
Got to keep those plates spinning. Today I was painting with the inktense pencils. This is a new model for me, Mika M. For colours, I started...
My Left Foot
After painting The Graduate, I wanted to keep experimenting with the oil pastels. I've still not really worked out what I'll normally be painting...
