  • Portraits At The Pub 15: Trudie

    Portraits At The Pub 15: Trudie

    After a month away from Portraits At The Pub, it was a little scary – mostly because next to Trudie was the resident Lamb Skeleton (yes they have one) dressed in Halloween attire of a top hat and weirdly a heart cushion in their rib cage. I guess it’s the skeleton’s favourite time of year!…

  • Mynktober Inktober Day 25-31

    Mynktober Inktober Day 25-31

    Another Inktober / Mynktober finished – oops spoilers! the second in as many years. This year I think I managed it better, last year I did a lot of prevaricating and starting work at 3am – not possible this year and I think it helped make it a lot less stressful. Also working smaller helped,…

I was particularly inspired by videos from Isolation Art School on Instagram – particularly the videos by @artpedagogy and Andee Collard around mark-marking, experiment and…

  • Online Life Drawing #4

    Online Life Drawing #4

    The online life drawing and portrait sessions continue apace, although I have learned I work best at my own pace and at a later time than with everyone else – most of the time I actually take far less time than the 10-30 minutes usually assigned, sometimes I take more for a pose or image…
