Chaps in hats


Here's a summery painting, based on a photo I took at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year.

Watercolour 8" by 10"

Another self portrait


Well, I promised more people and more sketching, so here's an unconvincing self portrait! Not a great likeness, it has to be said, but I will persevere.

Drawn in pastel pencil, A4 size, from life using a mirror (which I find really hard!).

Pheasant

Here a small watercolour, painted for a birthday card. Love the colours in these birds, they make great subjects for paintings!

Watercolour, 3.5" by 3.5".

Gina

A4, pastel pencil on pastel paper, from my own ref photo. Trying hard to get the shadow shapes down, not entirely successfully!

Practice, practice, practice...

20-minute challenge



Three more 20-minute challenge sketches, all from life and each completed within 20 minutes.

Watercolour and ink, each about 5" by 7".

Sally

A4 (approx 8" by 11"), in graphite from my own ref photo. Was pleased with this one; I wish I'd used better paper, rather than the jumbo sketchpad... Ah well...

The blue boy



This is a piece I started just before Christmas and finished off yesterday. It's based on the drawing of Olly I posted a few weeks ago. I decided to keep the colour range fairly narrow - ultramarine blue, white and a touch of crimson and payne's grey - just playing around, really, to see what kind of mood I could find.

Acrylic, 14" by 10".
