Braving it
Stepping outside my comfort zone on a weekend oil portraiture course.
Self-portrait
Self portrait
Distracted from reruns of ‘portrait artist of the year‘ by looking grumpily into the mirror. Get your inspiration where you can.
Mindful portrait
Saturday Night TV
‘Midsummer Murders’ – just riveting enough to stay awake for…
or maybe not…
My victims remain unimpressed with my portraiture efforts.
Catatonic
Man ignores cat whilst cat ignores man.
Do Try This At Home

Brother and guitar.
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!
