Today's model doesn't even have a name. She's Model 15 from the New Masters Academy. Great pose though. The idea behind this one was to make it...

I Am The Eye In The Sky
So, AA, when are we going to see what you're doing with that painting of an eye from the other day? And why is it exactly that you're needing to...
Three Days Of Snow
Back to painting again today and, for reasons that will become apparent, I wanted to get in some practice at snow paintings. So I looked through...
Aubrey, Seated
As I said in the previous post, it was time to do something different with the figure drawing rather than just turning the handle on the sausage...
The Cheetah Woman
After the painting experiment two days ago that I unwrapped yesterday, I had an overnight think and decided that I was going to press ahead and...
AnaIv
After that last disaster, a quick response. Figure drawing with the inktense pencils is much less risky than portraiture, so I went on to...
Sedona, Arizona
Yesterday's High Noon painting was a bit lacking in colour for one of my creations, so I thought I'd do something colourful today: a three colour...
The Tree Of Life
My second painting of the day was a lot more successful. The underpainting was again in ultramarine blue, raw sienna and burnt sienna. With two...
Led Zeppelin
And here's the complete Led Zep collection. The four drawings are all in different styles but work well as a set. Four different colour...
The Rush Collection
And here's the complete set together. It may even surpass the chess player set that I thought was my opus magnus. It's up for sale. To see the...
Neil Peart
Next up in either the Rush collection or supergroup collection is the late Neil Peart, one of the greatest drummers of all time and an amazing...
Geddy Lee
Time for another set of marker portraits. I've done chess, physics and westerns, so it's time to start on another passion: music. This is Geddy...
The Happiest Days Of Our Lives
Today's painting is dedicated to the recently departed Sir Alan Parker, who directed (as well as many other films) The Wall, a film featuring all...
Stockbury Church
Time for a new experience. To get some practice in (just in case I make it on to Landscape Artist Of The Year as a wildcard) I thought I'd better...
Lancashire Sunset
Today's painting was inspired by a photo by a guy called Brandon Lee Keefe of a sunset from St Peter's Church in Hersham. I say inspired rather...
(Two Of) The Hateful Eight
I thought it was about time I went back to my most popular series of paintings, the abstractified Westerns. Today, I found a still from The...
The Glamour Of The Snow
I thought a bit of watercolour painting was overdue, so I've been out there this morning running off this little number. The thunder started as I...
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...
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....
My Sunset’s On Fire
See, this is what happens when I go in without a real plan. After all that experimenting with triads, I wanted to have a go at a painting using...
