Mug shots
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!
Portraiture course: week 4
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!
Happy St Patrick’s Day
Plenty of us Brits coveting one of these right now!
Getting grumpier
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!
Across the tracks
A damp day in Brighton’s North Laine.
Thanks mum
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!
No Nudes
My faces are often a bit dodgy, so I’m doing a portraiture course (before you ask, that is the type without naked people.) Here are the results of week 1 & 2.
Inside and out
Man with an iPad ignores man with a paper.
Snow at last!
Grabbed a few minutes for a quick sketch of the snow this morning. More ‘chiffon scarf’ than a ‘blanket’ covering, but a good try for Brighton. All gone by the end of the day though.
Calm before the storm
Beautiful blue skies in Brighton and Hove this morning. Hoping for snow tonight!
