A mandatory duck in pastels I did a few weeks ago. I'm really pleased with my progress in pastels. Practice practice practice. #mandarinduck #duck #bird #riverbird #birdart #natureart #riverlife #wildlife #pastelmat #pastelart #artist #pastellist #ukartist #pastelpencils #panpastels #drake

Something different for me. Acrylic on canvas sheet. I'm not a natural painter and find it confusing. So more practice. Practice thinking, exploring , doing... And the inevitable cliche.. the journey not the destination. #bird #birds #robin #robinredbreast #gardenbirds #artist #art #painter #nature

Here's a ladybird i did today in pastels Ref: Lesley Charlesworth. #ladybird #ladybug #insect #pastelart #realism #nature

A self portrait I'm working on, (although probably wont do much more) with my beloved and much missed #bullterrier Nansi. #colouredpencil #artist #mansbestfriend #selfportrait #drawwhatyoulove #draweveryday #art #englishbullterrier #dog

A little mallard #duck done in #pastels on #pastelmat . 23x33cm. I'm starting to be a bit more confident in pastels. But still out of my comfort zone. #bird #natureart 🦆🪶🐦‍⬛ #wildlife #mallard #britishbirds #waterbird #drake

I don’t play and experiment enough. So I have. Seeing what works in a new paper. Decided I hate paper as it has a brick like texture But continued to see how far I could push it. Refuses to take any more abuse. So guess I’m done. Mixed media on W&N pastel paper. Poppy

Throwback Thursday From 2022 #KeithFlint from @theprodigyofficial.bsky.social Colourd pencil on cartidge paper. #theprodigy #weliveforever #portrait #firestartee

Just finished latest drawing. Just under A4 so the faces are just over an inch. Its of Chaz, a #newagetraveller who sadly died a few years ago. #colouredpencils on #pastemat #artist #portrait #alternativelifestyle #moderngypsy #art #portraiture

remember when Trent Reznor recorded a concept album in 2007 about a dystopian America becoming a christo-fascist country where art is a crime and everyone is under cyber surveillance, and people thought he was a bit dramatic?? good times.

4 days later and I'm still overwhelmed. #NineInchNails in Manchester. #Treznor is a genius. I wept during the first song, just him and a piano. I sobbed when it finished, I didn't want it to end. No other music or gig has ever hit me so hard. Overwhelmed @treznor.bsky.social Words are not enough.

Fairly quick drawing for me. Not really finished but the surface wont take any more abuse. #pastel #colouredpencil #wildlife #seal #sealife #mixedmedia #nature #animalart #wildlifeart #natureart #cansonmiteintes #drawing #ukartist #pastelpainting

Wolf for our wolf Pastel on pastel mat Quite a challenge. I'm still struggling to understand pastels. #wolf #pastel #art #animalart #lupus #drawwhatyoulove

An early drawing I did of my friend Harry. An immensely takented chainsaw carver, sadly no longer with us. This got to the finals of SAA artist of the year and was in an exhibition in London, which was thrilling. #colouredpencil #portrait #art #drawing #SAA

Yesterday I got to give @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social a portrait of him I drew after we saw him @hayfestival.bsky.social a few years ago. He's brought us joy and debate via his books and on radio. #colouredpencils #portrait #drawwhatyoulove

One of my latest drawings #sheep #colouredpencil #art #realism #horns #farmanimal #pastelmat #animalart

My portrait of #RonnieWood in #colouredpencils Hope you like him. #therollingstones #rocknroll #artist #drawwhatyoulove #portrait #drawing #guitarheroes

Tandy! My latest portrait. It’s been privilege to draw my good friends Fab dad, who is a talented Jazz trumpeter. Isn’t he scrummy. #colouredpencils on #clairfontaine #pastelmat. #portrait #colouredpencil #ukart #portraiture #draw #drawing #sketching #art #artist #jazzmusician #dad

Here's another of my cows. I hope you love it as much as I loved drawing it. #cow #colouredpencil #art #hereford #cattle #coloredpencil #farmlife #farmanimals #drawing #artist

I'm totally overwhelmed. I got tickets to see one of my favourites #NineInchNails. It's a bucket list gig. I struggle hugely with anxiety when out so this is a MASSIVE deal. #TrentReznor is a genius . I can't bloody wait. Train, hotel booked too. Wait mode activated. Squeeeeee.

I love cows. It's one of 3 I've done of cows close up and at unusual angles . This was published in an international, coloured pencil artists book. Coloured pencil on drafting film. #cow #tongue #cows #cattle #art #farmlife #farmanimals #bovine #herd #colouredpencil #draftingfilm #artist

The third kingfisher I drew last year. I may do more as it is impossible to get fed up of looking at such beauty. Coloured pencil on pastelmat #bird #kingfisher #britishwildlife #riverbird #britishbird #art #wildlifeart #colouredpencil #drawing #nature

A little pig I drew. Its called. Oink oink Sarah. Because my friend Sarah made such authentic piggy squeals when she saw it. #pigs #piggy #pig #art #pencildrawing #colouredpencil #artist #farming #farmanimal

Oh Charlie I absolutely loved drawing #charliewatts . He was the second of #theRollingstones I drew. Just Ronnie left. #colouredpencils #art #portrait #drummer #artistofbsky #drawing #rocklegend #itsonlyrocknroll

(I think) I finished this picture of two #horses just before Xmas. Although I feel it needs a bit more faffing. It's hidden away for a few days, so I can see with fresh eyes. #colouredpencil on #pastelmat #horse #horsesofbsky #greyhorse #pony #artist #wildhorses #drawing #pencils

I also drew johnny Depp as Raoul Duke on fear and loathing. It's not pefect and definitely needs more work. #art #johnnydepp #fearandloathing #huntersthompson #acid #artadventcalendar #portrait #colouredpencil #pencildrawing

A lil frog I drew with coloured pencils. He's just so colourful, it's not just birds that are gloriously coloured. #frog #artadventcalendar #art #colouredpencils #nature #colour #wildlife

Just stunning

A pair of swans I attempted in watercolour. A bit rough, but good practise #art #artistofbluesky #birds #bird #ukbirds #waterwildlife #watercolour #artadventcalendar #wildlifeart

A #pastel painting I did earlier this year of a #crestedgrebe I wanted to tackle #water and #reflections. #art #artadventcalendar #waterbirds #widlife #nature #drawing

A little #Hare I did in the spring in #softpastels. It was one of my first pastel paintings. So I was quite pleased with it. And learned a huge amount. #Art #spring #pastels #artadventcalendar #artist #wildlife

Another kingfisher. Pastel and coloured pencil. I just love their livery of blue and orange.In my early 20s, I lived overlooking a stream in a small town. I regularly saw, from the kitchen, window which was magical. #kingfisher #wildlife #art #Artadventcalendar #softpastels #colouredpencils

This year I've had a thing about kingfishers. This is done in soft pastels, a medium I'm very much a beginner in. #pastelpainting #kingfisher #wildlife #Art #nature #birds #pastels

An acrylic painting I did ( my first attempt at painting a person) Johnny Depp as Raoul Duke in Fear and loathing. #art #acrylicpainting #johhnydepp #artadventcalendar #portrait #artist

This is a more recent drawing. Done a few months ago . I've also drawn Charlie. Just Ronnie to go. #theRollingStones #MickJagger #colouredpencils #artist #portrait

A portrait that's been received today all the way over in Norway. Coloured pencil on pastelmat. #carandachepencils #art #portrait #viking #pastelmat

This was the first drawing that made think...Did I actually draw that. I don't always get that feeling...but that's what I'm chasing each time I draw. #keithrichards #rollingstones #art #drawing #dopaminechasing
