Sanguinely Spirited
This is an energetic drawing of my good old friend "Punk Alan". We have had the best and the worst of times but we still are the best of mates. We play pool and nobody ever wants to loose, that sets the tempo high and we begin to fly...........
This was done with Pastel dust (Creta Color Sanguine powder) and Coloured pencils (Lyra Skin tone chunky coloured pencils).
It was done on a heavy watercolour paper 20" x 24".
This is a tribute to the Legend Pool player!

Sketch of my arist friend "Yinka"
I made friends with an artist yesterday. We made contacts over the internet and she came to visit my studio. Before she left, she requested I do a quick sketch of her. This sketch about 15-20mins, she was quite pleased with the result.
I have used a lyra brown skin tone chunky coloured pencil here on an 11" x 14" paper from a daler rowney sketchbook of 110 sheets.
My main focus in this sketch was not actually to get a striking resemblance but a quick balance of tonal values and gesture.

abbey wood park landscape studies (1hour each)
I got into the mood of landsacpes after catching some inspiration form Kevin Macphersons' book on "landscape painting inside and out". I got into doing these 3 landscape studies for approximately an hour each. I also tried to follow Ken Howards' rule of not painting on one piece outside for more than an hour because the light changes.
These are the results
Happy viewing
