The rain's finally stopped, so I'm back on the watercolours at last. I thought I'd let myself back in gently by painting an imaginary landscape...
Personal Favourites
Thea’s Back
More angular figure drawing and today's model was Thea. You know the drill by now. Put down the drawing with lots of straight lines, put on lots...
Sam
It's raining outside, which is a big frustration because I have a great idea for my next watercolour. Instead I'm stuck indoors and thought I'd...
Thatch Cottage, Hartlip – The Full Monty
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...

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

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...

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...

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...
