Gripped as Eileen discovers Pat Phelan is the murderer in tonight’s Coronation Street…

You know it’s going to go well when you turn up half an hour early for your course and it takes you 10 minutes to realise.
Off to an impressive start, I proceeded to spill an entire jar of thinners and an entire jar of coffee all over the floor.

As well as all that, I also managed to finish portrait of Finlay, so it all worked out in the end.
Going to avoid jars for the rest of the day though!
Sunbathing with coats on, Brighton beach.
A bit of Portraiture practice today, straight down in pen and wash. 

Sketched my nieces in super quick sittings, whilst they took turns to make a cake. Baking is a very serious business!


Working in oils this week, with a new model.
By the end I looked like Mel Gibson in Braveheart. Note to self: less paint on me, more on the canvas.

Darks and mid-tones coming along. Next week those tricky lights!
Plenty of us Brits coveting one of these right now!
On week three of my portraiture course I chose the challenging ‘head on’ view. Which is my excuse for why our cheery model looks so very miserable.

Ran out of time to fix that hand!
A damp day in Brighton’s North Laine.
Happy Mother’s Day!

This year my mum presented me with a selection of ‘art works’ I’ve given her over the years.
I’m very proud of the Brer Rabbit calendar, which even contains a word search!
