Little 12”x12” oil on canvas. A view of Staithes in North Yorkshire. # oillandscape
In 2021, I decided to start painting. I think this was the first thing I painted.
Delighted that I am not the only one.
20 min iPad portrait.
Wanted to make a mood board.
I actively dislike Pinterest. (Which is full of unattributed work and AI slop).
Used Apple Freeform - it works really well.
All-day portrait session yesterday. Spent first half of day on this raw umber sketch.
Thanks David!
Thanks! Had a great day.
63 solar orbits.
Black and white digital portrait of Mia Farrow
Experimenting with more brushy digital painting. This one is in #procreate using the Turpentine brush which gives quite oily marks. Hoping this will
Improve my real life oil work.
Oil painting of coastal scene looking out to sea over rooftops of houses.
Oil on canvas. 12”x12”.
Not quite finished painting of Staithes in North Yorkshire. #allaprima #oillandscape
Oil on canvas. 12”x12” Nearly finished this painting of Staithes.
An unusual portrait I did on Saturday.
(Cops and robbers portrait special)
Quick digital portrait. Instead of real painting. #procreate #portrait
Sad to hear that Sheffield’s Yard Gallery will be closing. Sheffield is odd. You can’t throw a beret without hitting an artist but has fewer galleries than a village in the Hebrides.
A little bit more work on painting of “queen” Kelly
Oil painting of woman in regal Tudor costume.
6 hr portrait session was the Christmas special. With the sitter in full Tudor costume. Didn’t really finish. So working on likeness and detail a week later.
Handful of iPad #procreate portraits drawn from life. Bout 40,20,7,20 mins respectively.
Still trying to figure-out toned paper drawing.
Love these all-day-portrait session in Sheffield. Stuck to my plan this time. Spent time getting underpainting right. and managed a decent likeness. #allaprima. #oilportrait
Thanks.
I knew I could draw one from reference, but was fun to try without.
This painting is now SOLD! Yay. 🥳
Checks reference. Ah - I have merged the shoulder cushions to the back spiracle tubes!
No idea if this is anatomically correct.
Everyone seems to be sketching #xenomorphs this week. Never tried to draw one from imagination/memory. Quite challenging
Thanks Chris.
Oil painting of stoney river heading toward a bridge.
River Westend. Oil on board. A4 landscape. Fun landscape painting in which I made a great many marks in a casual manner hoping they captured the scene realistically. #oilpainting #oillandscape #peakdistrict.
A bunch of 20 minute portraits - done on my iPad. Today’s Posensketch session in Sheffield. It was a Halloween special.
