What a beautiful restoration. It reminds me of Millet's "The Gleaner's" a small print of which used to hang in our hallway growing up as a child, along with another of his "The Angelus"

Oops! Just noticed the acknowledgement in the bottom corner of the first one 😊

Gorgeous control of what is a notoriously difficult medium to control. These remind me of the work of Henry Scott Tuke ❤️

Architecture Lab Michelangelo’s David was enclosed in a cylindrical brick and sandbag shelter in Florence in 1943 to shield it from Allied bombing raids. The structure, assembled by museum conservators and engineers,....

Michelangelo was my first art hero and I tried to see as much of his work as possible on a whirlwind Interrail backpacking tour in my first year of art college. It's heartening to see the value mankind places on art and beauty in the darkest of times. #michelangelo www.facebook.com/architecture...

The first painting pass over the block in for a painting of a topless skinhead youth, wearing blue jeans, looking over his shoulder at the viewer.

This still looks very 'digital', which is not in itself a bad thing. But I like to apply the lessons learned in traditional media to digital and back again, so I try and keep my approaches similar. I imght tackle that in the next pass. #digitalart #procreate #queerart #male #nude #figure #physique

What a gorgeous use of muted greenish hues in this piece ❤️

I have been listening to this BBC adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 as I paint today. A timely listen given the state of world affairs

The Pyrotechnic Chemistry of the Vatican’s Pope Smoke Signals Explained Pyrotechnic chemistry drives the Vatican’s recipes for the black and white smoke used to announce papal election outcomes

I always thought the votes burned with black smoke and the white smoke was an additive. Turns out it is a bit more complicated :-) #pope #papalelection #catholic #vatican #PopeLeoXIV #robertprevost #cardinalprevost

The colour block in for a painting of a topless skinhead youth, wearing blue jeans, looking over his shoulder at the viewer.

It is so easy to get out of practise, I really felt it whilst doing this, the colour block in done over yesterday's sketch. But we all know we have to push through the 'ugly' stage so I remain optimistic 🙂

The preliminary sketch for a painting of a topless skinhead youth, wearing blue jeans, looking over his shoulder at the viewer.

For one reason or another it has been quite a while since I painted or drew much, so I'm happy to be back on the journey again at last. This is the preliminary sketch for a new piece I've just started working on.

A quick pencil sketch on a shorthand pad of my versioj of a "mind horse" which is a horse drawn entirely from memory as proposed by @kitaki cinematic universe @attorneytrash.bsky.social

The original tweet by kitaki cinematic universe @attorneytrash.bsky.social which set the mind horse challenge in motion

I present my "Mind Horse" as proposed by @attorneytrash.bsky.social What a fascinating and fun notion! I'm not sure I have ever drawn a full length horse and certainly not from my imagination! #mindhorse #sketch

This could almost be a painting by John Constable.

Gorgeous use of the medium. I first learned to use gouache for flat even colour in grphic design. It wasn't until decades later I discovered how versatile it can be!

I think these nicely illustrate the art/painting/traditional/digital journey I have been on this last year or two 😊 #art #gayart #gayartist #male #figuredrawing #portrait #drawing #pencil #charcoal #painting #acrylic #pastel #digitalpainting #digitalart #procreate

A saturated, clearly digital painting done in Procreate of a close up of a set of full, male lips on a jaw with a light beard being parted by a man's hand sensually to reveal just separated upper and lower rows of front teeth

I have spent so much time recently working with traditional materials, I thought I should play around in Procreate to avoid getting too rusty, and this little sketch was the result.
