Still making my way through my pile of new art supplies and today it's a first outing for my Schmincke supergranulating tundra watercolours. They...
Hartlip Church Porch
Next I moved position to get a view of the porch at the front of the church. I went against the advice of Alex Hillkurtz and picked a viewing...
Another Corner Of Stonehenge
It's June 21, the Summer Solstice, so I'm back to Stonehenge again. In a lot of ways, this followed a similar process to my previous painting, but...
Murray Edwards College, Cambridge
After all that fun with whitewashed buildings in my last painting, I wanted to have another go at something similar. After googling for white...
The Red Lion, Weston
It was looking too hot outside today to venture out painting, so I looked through my files for something I could paint in a shady spot in the...
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...
Thurnham Castle
Today I've been on a day trip to paint Thurnham Castle. It's a little bit to the North of Maidstone and is just a pair of hills, one of which has...
Rochester Castle

After a flop with the watercolours, I'm back to the oil pastels again, where everything always seems to go well and I can regain some confidence. ...
Animal Biscuit Valley, New Zealand
I'm still on the oil pastels but it's a landscape in New Zealand today. Well kind of. I've been a bit smart today and left out some rocks that...
Torres Del Paine National Park
Enough with the naked women, I'm back onto landscapes. This is three artworks in successive days, which is pretty unusual for me. The subject...
Sarah Ann
After a few weeks away following the loss of my father, I'm back to the artwork. And I'm glad I am. It was great to spend an hour and a half away...
Rhus’ Back
After all that fun with the markers, I thought I really should get back to doing some proper painting with the inktense pencils. Today I'm back to...
My Feet
And here's the last of the Bert Dodson exercise drawings that I'll be sharing. I think all he asked us to do was to make ourselves comfortable and...
Doctor Richard Maunder
Second up in the Christ's Maths Fellows 1982-86 collection is Richard Maunder. This guy was an absolute legend. He was a pure mathematician, into...
