Tonights progress on my figure drawing.

A work in progress charcoal drawing of a female figure. There is a backgrpund gradient running from the top left to the bottom right. The female figure is partially rendered with the top part of her torso and face rendered and the lower body only blocked in in flat shadow shapes.

Life drawing at the atelier this week. Very happy with the likeness in the features.

A male figure on a crucifix. The figure is only visible through flat coloured shadow shapes.

I've started the rendering. It's going okay, sometimes I am loving how it looks, sometimes I hate it and want to scrap it. But the horrors persist and so shall I.

A work in progress charcoal drawing of a woman standing with her right arm reaching behind her head and her left arm resting against her left hip which is cocked to the side. There is a toned gradient background going from her right to her left. The majority of the drawing is a single tone shadow block in but the face has both shadow and light rendering in progress.

Went to a Fringe show and decided to attempt drawing the cast of Lost in Translation while they performed. It was a fun and challenging task.

Sketchbooking today, messing around with observational drawing and then invention drawing where I attempt to draw the same object from an imagined angle. A very humbling exercise.

Well she's all blocked in. Now to get it super flat and smooth and then we can start on the rendering.

What shall I render first?

Working on the shadow block in of my master copy. This will eventually be rendered in either charcoal or carbon pencil.

Excited to get rendering!

More in progress work from the Edinburgh Atelier of Fine Art. Really feel like this piece is coming along, lots of shape work but rewarding to see it progressing.

The distressing case of the missing duckling

Putting my first post-it painting out in the wild for someone to find.

If you are in #Edinburgh #leith see if you can find it!

Been absent because I've started attending my local atelier. Here is my first Bargue study. Getting the shading done was demanding, I've never had to keep a pencil so sharp, but the results are worth it.

Honestly this was just a bit of fun to stretch those #digital art muscles. 4 hours well spent.

Hey blue-sky, I make pasties for #poledance, #caberat, and #burlesque. I started making them this year when I couldn't find the yoda pasties I was looking for, for a star wars pole routine. I make them custom to order.

Painting puffins in watercolour, I have yet to see puffins in person but I'm hoping I get to see some next year.

A watercolour painting of two puffins looking at eachother on a rock. There is an out of focus wave crashing in the background. The sun is casting shadows to the left side in the painting.

Had fun painting the autumn colours at the Edinburgh botanical gardens earlier in October.

A double page spread of the sketchbook showing a watercolour of a fallen tree which is still growing leaves. The leaves are shades of red, orange, yellow and green. They are contrasted but a dark green and blue background.

Went on a lovely holiday to the isle of Arran and managed to get some plein air painting done in between rain showers and much hiking.

It's been a minute. Have a gouache colour study of a labyrinth scene in penance.

Painting of the dance scene between Jareth and Sarah from the Labyrinth. The painting is done in gouache and watercolour. Sarah is looking at Jareth. She is wearing a white dress with an iridescent sheen. Jareth is wearing a embroidered dark coat with a white ruffle collated shirt underneath.
