Yesterday's paintings were bad. To help me find some form, I thought I'd look for some precarious rocks. I managed to find Kjeragbolten, which is...

Gabrielle
More inktense figure drawing as promised. This is a new model for me: Gabrielle. For colours today, I used bark, baked earth, leaf green,...
Secret Door Into Hartlip Church
The Euros start today, so my paintings might slow right down over the next few weeks unless I can start getting out of bed earlier. There's only...
Long Gone
I was flicking through one of my Jean Haines books last night for inspiration and decided to do something in her style today. the subject matter...
Margaret
Inktense pencils are just too much fun to draw with, so here's another. It's a debut for Margaret. I've cropped her so I get no hands or feet. ...
Glean a’Chroin
I felt inspired by one of the subpaintings in my last post (The Joy Of Six). It was the one in the bottom right. Winsor Orange and Indigo are like...
Michael, Kneeling
There really needs to be a Sky Naked Figure Drawing Of The Year program. I'm sure I could make a decent crack of it. Inktense pencils are the...
Place Meadow, Hartlip
It's another Hartlip painting and, just like the last one, it features a house and is named after the house but the centre of interest in terms of...
View From Hartlip Church
And it's another Hartlip landscape! This is the seventh and last of the Hartlip landscapes that I put together value plans for a while ago. If I...
Craiglea And Sanquhar, Hartlip
It's freezing outside so I only have one painting to add to the Hartlip collection today. I picked this pair of cottages because they were white....

Chadwick Boseman
It's only 28th December but a new year's artwork kicks off here. I wanted to have another go at a black and white portrait against a black...
Charlie, Dobbie And Mia – Best Two Yet?
Back to those three dogs. The plans for today were to: - make the other dogs' heads more similar in size to Dobbie's - achieved! - use black...
NMA Model 15
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...
