Continuing to experiment, today I'm trying two new approaches with the new drawing technique: multiple portraits crammed together and combining...
Other Subject Matter
Jimi Hendrix
I have two watercolour blocks here, so straight after drawing Neil Young (and before painting him) I grabbed my other block and drew Jimi Hendrix....
Neil Young
Dear oh dear. After the successes of Duane and Big Sam, I felt confident enough to have a go at this style of drawing on watercolour paper and...
Duane Allman & Sam Allardyce
I'm going to try out something new this morning. I'm going to start with a Charles Reid style contour drawing. He recommends starting from the...
Michael, Kneeling
There really needs to be a Sky Naked Figure Drawing Of The Year program. I'm sure I could make a decent crack of it. Inktense pencils are the...
Raiders Of The Lost Ark
This was quite quick to paint but took me all day to plan, so let's talk about planning first. I've had an idea for a while about doing a painting...
Ben Talks Football
Portraits with markers always come in pairs. After that Tommy Cooper effort, I wasn't feeling confident enough to draw someone famous, so I headed...
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...
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
Reading that George Blacklock book during the week I started to think about how artists like Dali, Mageitte and Blacklock himself have common theme...
I See A Red Door And I Want It Painted Black
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...
