I headed out to my local Hobbycraft yesterday to do some shopping. I bought replacements for seven or eight colours that seem to be shrinking down...

It's an indoor job today while I wait for the rain to arrive. I thought I'd have another go at a figure drawing with the coloured pencils, again...
CharlieK’s Back
I won't be going outside to paint during this latest heatwave, so I'm back on the coloured pencils and doing some figure drawing: my first go with...
Candle
Back on the inktense pencils today. Got to keep all those plates spinning. Today's model is Candle, making her debut on theses pages. Colours...
David Gilmour
Back on the coloured pencils and I thought I'd try doing a portrait of David Gilmour. I tried something different today: as well as using a grid,...
Paul Shane
I've had my eye in the late Paul Shane for a while. In particular the Paul Shane who turned up on Pebble Mill that time to sing You've Lost That...
Big Sam In Coloured Pencil
I still have loads of new art gear to try out, so no dash and splash for me today. It’s time to give the coloured pencils a first outing. For...
Sarah Ann, Pensive
It's just too hot outside to paint this week, so I'll be having a run on the inktense pencils. Today I picked a pose by Sarah Ann, someone I've...
Adrina In Inktense Pencil
After that last painting, I wanted to have another go at painting Adrina in this pose, so it was back to the inktense pencils. It's quite good...
Adrina In Watercolour
My plan today was to play things fast and loose by putting down a random colourful underpainting and then to convert it to something else with some...
Ancient Lights
Abstract landscapes don't drain me as much as serious paintings, so after the last one, I was ready for a repeat performance. After a little bit...
CharlieK
Wasn't feeling up to a landscape today so I reached for the inktense pencils for a bit of figure drawing. Today's model is CharlieK, making her...
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
My second episode as a wildcard at Landscape Artist Of The Year was screened in February 2023 but here's what I had to say after filming in June...
Wake Up Kevin!
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...
