I love lump sanguine. There’s nothing quite like drawing with rock 🙂
2B Pencil. I always struggle with soft pencil – too soft to be precise but too hard to be expressive (like charcoal)… Good to play with the balance…
Sticking with the same dried flower head, moving to fine markers. Drawing two is a quick study in 0.3mm marker. Drawing three looks more closely at how the…
After a year of throwing paint at canvases in a fairly expressionistic kind of way, I feel like getting back to basics is in order, so for this…
After doing Sibelius’ Third as part of the 28 Songs Later series, I decided to try another three-part classical piece, but this time full size in oils. So…
I’ve just submitted Sibelius’ Third to the RSA Open Exhibition. Fingers crossed!

Song twenty-two : If You Wait (London Grammar) Â Another request this one.
Song Twenty-one : Violet Hill (Coldplay) A request. This one wasn’t massively successful. There were a lot of water effects which didn’t dry terribly well unfortunately – it…
Song Twenty – Us and Them (Pink Floyd)
Song Nineteen : Rajaz (Camel) The first one with distinct lyrical content. The song is about camel trains (rajaz being the word for the songs the riders would…
Song Eighteen : Within Without You (The Beatles) This one got a bit lost and went meh. But the thing with 28 Drawings Later is that you post…
Day/Song Seventeen : Sounds That Can’t Be Made (Marillion) Â Paintings that can’t be photographed more like. Had to do this one as it contains a line that…
Song Sixteen : Where’s the Orchestra? (Billy Joel)
Song Fifteen : So What? (Miles Davis)
Song Fourteen : The Snow Leopard (Shearwater)
Song Thirteen : The Iron Sea (Keane)
Song Twelve : The Mother We Share (Chvrches)
