Urban Watercolour – ♥ Death
I’ve not done an Urban Watercolour for a long while, since last last year or earlier although ‘Two Birds’ came close. Urban watercolour is where I find disused buildings or urban setting, especially graffiti and lovingly render it in anachronistic dip-pen and watercolour. This is a disused building on the Alexandria Playing Ground near Tolworth…

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…

Ham Lands Oil
On a sunny afternoon I headed to Ham Lands, ostensibly to paint watercolours but when I got there I decided to paint the sixth plein air oil. Wasn’t completely a good decision if I wanted to do anything else *ahem* as covered in oil paint I’m not exactly friendly but hardly anyone was there, not…
