I wanted to give some of my new inktense pencils a runout, so that's what I'm going today. And with three of those new colours being fleshy...

The Persuaders! Collection
And here they are together, The Persuaders! Lord Brett Sinclair works better as one of a pair than he did on his own. I'd start with The...
Lord Brett Sinclair
And here's my second marker portrait of the day, Lord Brett Sinclair played by Sir Roger Moore. Just like Danny Wilde, he's in monotone greys but...
Danny Wilde
I didn't know what I wanted to do today so asked my iPad for ideas. It suggested that I do a portrait using markers. If I do a portrait with the...
Joe Walsh
Today's painting is a portrait of Joe Walsh of The Eagles, someone who in his heyday was probably even more fun at parties than Frank Bough....
Frank Bough
Of all the celebrities ever to have been disgraced after being caught in a tabloid sting, Frank Bough is the most likely to raise a smile and the...
Brian Clough’s Finger
I thought I'd have a go at painting Brian Clough today. It was always going to happen at some point. I had a choice between source photos and...
A Clockwork Orange
Another watercolour today. This is based on a publicity shot for A Clockwork Orange, a famous 1971 Stanley Kubrick film. With the white face and...
Cornelius
Ok so, as I said last time, I asked the spreadsheet on the iPad what to paint next it told me to paint a portrait using the Shire supergranulators...
The Avengers 1965-67
And here they are together, Steed and Mrs Peel. They go quite brilliantly together and are up for sale as a pair.
Mrs Emma Peel
It was always going to happen. Steed needed a partner. I decided to go for Mrs Peel, a character that was sure to make a great painting. After...
Major The Hon. John Wickham Gascoyne Beresford Steed
This one took me a couple of days but it was worth it. I picked out John Steed as played by the late Patrick MacNee in The Avengers and The New...
Hale And Pace
Today I've been painting Hale and Pace, a comedy double act from the 1980s and 90s. Sometimes you see a photo and you just have to turn it into a...
Fleabag
A lot of my recent watercolour portraits seem to have been painted from a distance, including bodies, hands and things like that. I wanted to go...
Three-One!
Something about that Joe Jordan painting yesterday put me in a nostalgic mood and wanting to keep going back to the 1978 World Cup. And the...
Joe Jordan
Today I have been mostly painting a portrait of Joe Jordan. As he's wearing a Scotland shirt it seemed appropriate to paint this one with three...
Paul With Markers
I've been out most of the day but came back to see some Facebook banter from old Christ's boy Paul wondering whether he could get me to send him...
Gregg Allman In Coloured Pencil
Time for something new. This has been brewing away in my mind for a couple of weeks and I finally decided to give it a go. It's my first ever...
The Man That Mildred Married
After a day off I was back today with the oil pastels. For a subject I picked out comedy actor Brian Murphy. As usual I put down a pencil outline...
Gary Moore
After managing to capture the face that Warren Haynes pulls when he hits a high note, I thought I'd thought I'd try a repeat performance by...
