You can leave your hat on.

Another one I am just starting. This is the same model as from the violin piece I uploaded not long ago. She is intact a very talented latex designer from Manchester.

Anyway, I won't bore you with the same process notes i've put on all my other first steps paintings. I will say however keep your eyes peeled because I plan on putting a competition portfolio together soon.

Something finished

This is my latest complete piece. I have no title for this yet. This girl is a very close friend of mine and we've worked together on a collection of paintings that I have been working on for quite a while. I must admit I do struggle with titles.

Some Heels

This is a segment of a piece I am working on. The models are Auburn Rose and Tonilou, two brilliant girls.

What I have done so far is to block out the image with a wash as my preliminary drawing and first coat and start my slightly thicker "true colour layer. So far with that I have done Auburn Rose's stockings and underwear, next it'l be Tonilou's and the chair (although you cant see that here)

This is going to be part of my "Glamour" or "Pin-up" set of work.

Waiting for you

So this is now going to be a daily blog containing “what I’ve done so far”. First we have to play a bit of catch up since I have a lot going on at the moment. First is an image of an old friend of mine with my guitar. Everything is marked out nicely as you can see but I have not started detail on anything yet.

This is to be another in my “Music” set along with “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”. It has no title yet but I am thinking it’l have to be a bit more up to date than Barbra Streisand.

The next step for this one is to start the figure. Generally I work from the top down, What I will do is a more detailed “white” layer (non-transparent, all colours with a hint of white mixed) then a number of semi-transparent coloured layers to create depth and tone.
