Someone approached me the other of about the possibility of painting Thatch Cottage in my home village of Hartlip. It's a cottage I've painted...

Auger Close, Hartlip
And here's the final dash and splash of the day. I didn't have to dash very far after drawing it as it's a view from my back garden, albeit with...
Old Nuuk
Here we go then. Back on the watercolours and it's a gentle return because I'm reaching for the tundra supergranulators and doing another painting...
Neil Young In Coloured Pencil
I've had a couple of days off doing a bit of retirement planning but am back on the painting again now. After discovering how my figure drawing...
KathyB
It's an indoor job today while I wait for the rain to arrive. I thought I'd have another go at a figure drawing with the coloured pencils, again...
CharlieK’s Back
I won't be going outside to paint during this latest heatwave, so I'm back on the coloured pencils and doing some figure drawing: my first go with...
Nuuk Art Museum
It was always going to be another supergranulating day today. But tundra or shire? I went for tundra. The shire set is one that I might be able...
Denali National Park 2
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

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
So, after the flop that was The Wall Of Rochester Castle, I slumped off towards Rochester High Street for coffee at The Dead Cat (*recommended)...
Christ’s College Hall From Second Court
The artwork's slowed down this week as I've not quite been tickety. But I was feeling well enough to do something quick today, so I went for a...
James Anderson
I was in the mood to do another oil pastel portrait today and I picked a source photo of James Anderson, the third highest wicket taking test...
She Wore A Yellow Ribbon
After such a miserable effort yesterday, I had to go back to the oil pastels today. With the watercolours it's still touch and go whether I can...
Two Trees, Hartlip House
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...
