Just finished painting in the studio when I noticed how beautiful the sky was looking. I grabbed some blue Canson paper and a box of pastels so as I could paint the view. I used charcoal for the darks to get this very quick 15 min sketch done. It was amazing how fleeting the sky was. When I had finished it had completely changed and there was very little pinky orange to the sky.

This is the painting that I completed at Stirling Art Club demonstration. The Art Club is friendly and made me feel very welcome, I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did!

Stirling Art Club have invited me to do a painting demonstration tomorrow evening. I have done a study in colour and one in black and white, I am doing the painting with a limited range of pastel colours. The colours I plan to use are in the mixed chart on the left hand side. In the middle is the outlined sketch for the demonstration.

I have recently finished this portrait as a commission. It is mostly conte with just a touch of soft pastels in the final strokes.

This is a page from my sketch book showing studies for some seascape compositions I am considering. More inspiration from our trip to the Outer Hebrides!

I was asked to do a demonstration at Largo Bay Arts Society. Here is the painting that I did last night, not quite completed. The orange ground is showing through in the foreground rocks.

I did this tonal study for a new painting I have in mind. I sketched the scene when we were on Barra so I could refer to it in the studio.

Doing this study took me right back to the Outer Hebrides and its quirky landscape.

This afternoon I made an effort to get my oil paints out and walk up to the fields behind our house to do a study. In the nearby fields tractors we ploughing, I was not the only one working!
