Today on Portrait Artist Of The Week It was Clare Balding. I didn’t rate my chances of doing Clare justice so I've instead headed back to The...

The Magnificent Seven
And here's the set all together. I actually think they work well as a collection. They all have something different to bring to the party, just...
And Introducing Horst Buchholz
And here's the last one in the set. It's Horst Buchholz as Chico. I'm not sure he's instantly recognisable unless you're looking at all seven...
Yul Brynner
One more member of the Magnificent Seven. It's Yul Brynner as Chris Adams. I would say he's the coolest of the seven but I think Britt (James...
Steve McQueen
Back to the Magnificent Seven and it's Steve McQueen as Vin Tanner. I really struggled to get. a likeness, so thought I'd have some fun with...
Robert Vaughn
I take it back. It's Robert Vaughn, not Steve McQueen that's hardest to draw. I did a lot of drawing and rubbing out before ending with this...
Charles Bronson
I was late out of bed this morning and it looked a bit too hot outside so I'm back to drawing with markers this morning. I'm back to the...
Brad Dexter
Back for one more of The Magnificent Seven before I put the markers away for another week. Number two in the collection is Brad Dexter who played...
James Coburn
Back to the markers and it's time to start on a new series of portraits. I've done a series of chess players and a series of quantum physicists....
Henry Fonda, Once Upon A Time In The West
Back on the markers again and, for whatever reason, I've developed a taste for drawing portraits. Today, though, rather than looking for photos of...
Hondo
I thought it was about time I did another Western silhouette painting as they're always popular. Today's painting is based on a still from Hondo, a...
Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid
And here's today's second painting. This one really is a Western. For once it's an action scene rather than a pose. I'm going to claim that I've...
Tombstone
After the roaring success of Once Upon A Time In The West, I thought I'd have a go at another Western. This time it's Tombstone, the best of the...
Once Upon A Time In The West – In Progress
I shared a photo of today's painting on Facebook before I filled in the silhouettes. I was told I should stop there and frame it but I carried on...
Once Upon A Time In The West
After the rubbish that I put out yesterday, I was determined to paint an ink-free watercolour again as soon as possible but to do it properly,...
The Searchers Again
I'm back to silhouette scenes from famous Westerns. This time it's back to The Searchers. John Ford really knew how to compose a scene. The rider...
My Darling Clementine
Back to a favourite theme and it's another Ditko/Western mashup. It's based on an iconic Wyatt Earp pose in My Darling Clementine (1946), leaning...
Jesse James
15 August 2018 Here's a companion piece to go with The Searchers. It's based on a scene from The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert...
The Searchers
1 August 2018 Looking at feedback so far, people seemed to like paintings of outer space or Westerns or paintings with people in them. So I...
Unforgiven
23 May 2018 This is based on an establishing shot in Unforgiven, a Clint Eastwood Western from 1992. I've got a lot of Westerns in my DVD...
