Back into proper painting action today and it's a watercolour portrait. Someone put up an Oscar Wilde quote the other day on LinkedIn next to a...

Sean Connery
I’ve been feeling pretty grot this week and I know from experience that if I paint when I don't feel like painting I'm not going to come up with...
Sir Roger Moore
I thought I'd have another go at Sir Roger Moore today. He's one of a number of people that I feel I owe a portrait after having had a go once and...
Great Gig In The Sky: Sam Brown
I’m still on Great Gig In The Sky from the Pink Floyd Pulse concert. Today it's the first of the three female vocalists on that track, Sam Brown....
Great Gig In The Sky: David Gilmour
I was watching a bit of YouTube over breakfast this week and came across a review of Great Gig In The Sky from the Pink Floyd Pulse concert and it...
Spectre Of The Gun
The idea for this one came to me last night. I was googling around, looking at reviews of some forthcoming Star Trek episodes and found this still...
Eric Morecambe
It's a portrait of Eric Morecambe today in crystalline watercolours. I put down a pencil drawing last night, dividing Eric up into highlights, mid...
A Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Man
After two days off I needed to get back to painting today but didn't have much time available, so went for the Inktense pencils, with no long...
Sinead O’Connor
Sometimes want to painting but am in a "clean mood" and don't fancy making a mess, cover up the desk with a sheet and cleaning stuff up afterwards....
Debbie Harry
Starting to feel like I’m back in the swing of things again after this one, my first three layer posterised watercolour portrait in three weeks. ...
The Enterprise Crew
And here's the complete collection. Lined up in Sudoku formation with one red, one blue and one green/yellow shirt in each column and in each...
Chekov
And finally, completing the set we have Mr Chekov, played by Walter Koenig. I can tell it¡s him; there's a chubby, baby-faced quality to him. But...
Chappell
Number eight in the enterprise crew is Nurse Chappell, played by Majel Barrett. Probably the worst likeness so far, but there's a fear there in...
Uhura
Next up in the Enterprise crew is Uhura, played by Nichelle Nichols. Only two more to go now. The likeness still isn't perfect. I'm starting...
Scott
Back to the enterprise crew again and, with two blues, two yellow/greens and one red shirt to date, it's time for another red shirt. This is Mr...
Stephen Mangan
Yesterday's watercolour painting was a huge success and I've learned through experience that the best way to follow up a win like that is not to...
McCoy
Only time for one portrait today after that book review and it's my first ever go at Doctor McCoy, played by DeForest Kelley. It's him but it's...
Kirk
Number 4 in the collection is Captain Kirk, played by William Shatner. Bill joins Gregg Allman, Warren Haynes, Big Sam Allardyce and me in the...
Rand
I realised last night that the nine in this collection will comprise three each of red shirts, blue shirts and green shirts. So that makes my...
Sulu
Second in the collection is Mr Sulu, played by George Takei. It looks like the first layer of colour is yellow but it's actually lime green. ...
