It's 5 yrs today since lockdown started in England, but "We must never have lockdown again" is the wrong lesson. Lockdowns are terrible but so are deadly pandemics. Our choices 5 years ago were limited - we can & must do better in the future. Do read my post. open.substack.com/pub/christin...

After a long hiatus I’ve finically added a new lesson to my online portrait course over on the @drawonline.bsky.social Patreon! You can try a free week here: www.patreon.com/posts/portra...

Pose 2 of @lancelotrichardson.bsky.social for tonight’s portrait session at @drawonline.bsky.social

Sketches from a recent Wildlife Drawing class held at the @drawonline.bsky.social Brighton studio. We drew nocturnal animals, including a millipede, crested and leonardo geckos, a hedgehog and giant african land snail. Always a challenge working from moving subjects! #drawing #animals #sketching

Pastel study of Inès, such a beautiful set of reference portraits to work from. Trying to not use black at all. Pastels and Pan Pastels. @drawonline.bsky.social

Gouache paintings of Miles at @drawonline.bsky.social in Brighton, from life. #gouache #lifedrawing #aktzeichnen #painting #portrait

Final pastel of Nomi, this ones a bit angrier. Pastel are very challenging for me as out of my charcoal comfort zone. I love the colours you can achieve. @jakespicerart.bsky.social @drawonline.bsky.social

Today's morning and afternoon session with @drawonline.bsky.social Thanks to Priss and Naomi:)

The wonderful DMac at @drawonline.bsky.social from a photo set of clothed dynamic dancer themed poses. Charcoal over pastel.

Underpainting from a #lifedrawing session @drawonline.bsky.social #drawbrighton #art #oilpainting

Wanted to only use bright colours as such a horrible grey dull day. Only black are Nomi, the models eyes, she was referencing Paula Rego's Snow White, more stylised than I would normally do, but I'm happy with the bright pastel colours! @jakespicerart.bsky.social @drawonline.bsky.social

More Monday portrait drawing! About 3 hours total in Derwent Drawing colour pencils, from Vicky’s sitting at the online portrait class at @drawonline.bsky.social

Was working at the @drawonline.bsky.social studio this weekend - thought I’d do some behind the scenes sketching…

Revisiting some old portrait drawings from Monday night at @drawonline.bsky.social

Good to see @drawonline.bsky.social is now on Bluesky. This portrait, one of my favourites, is from one of their reference photos.

Marianna’s Rodin pose, @drawonline.bsky.social some great poses by the wonderful model, going to concentrate on exploring these over next few days.

Okay. Let’s give this a go! I’m a painter from Brighton, here’s the latest off my easel! #artist #arttutor #paoty #portraitartist

The first Sunday of 2025 was an artistic delight: attending Experimental Life Drawing: Cut-outs and Collages @drawonline.bsky.social. Thanks to Emma for her research and enthusiastic leadership in the class. It was fun to go beyond the 2-D drawing board!

A charcoal drawing of Dr Melanie King @drawonline.bsky.social Her limited and narrow profile and masses of lovely hair I found a bit challenging, so I put more effort into her upper torso. At least no hands to render!

Life drawing with @drawonline.bsky.social last night - online life drawing sessions have been a revelation for me over the past few years

I'm Lancelot Richardson - I'm an independant artist, but I also run community drawing classes in Brighton and South East England, including the free weekly Portrait Club that this sketches are from!
