Every piece of art goes through a journey in its creation and this one is no different. Originally this was going to be a pretty monochromatic piece then a pesky green snake crept in!! I will only know what it will look like when it’s finished! #oilpainting #art #painting #artist #surreal #oil

Taking a break from oils this evening (some drying time needed), so I started to put colour to this fiery lady with a touch of watercolour. #painting #artwork #weird #watercolour #art #artist #sketchbook

Eye eye apple pie! Some unfinished details on my WIP. Loving learning how oils behave. I think they may become my go to medium. #catart #animals #cat #weirdart #popsurreal #painting #animalart #art #oilpainting #oils #somethingdifferent #oddball

After a couple of weeks away from the paints I have managed to get a couple of hours on this moggie today. Made some good progress, made a couple of mistakes but she is coming along! Everyone loves cats and robins don’t they? #cat #robin #oilpainting #painting #artwork #art #artist #popsurreal

This is an old one, but I fancied sharing it again! Digitally painted/drawn in procreate. Took around 80 hours if memory serves me right. #digitalart #tiger #wildlife #cat #portrait #weirdart #darkart #popsurrealism #lowbrow #painting #drawing #art #artwork #artist

Today’s art sketch isn’t the best work, but I need to put more practice into drawing hands from the imagination. They never look right no matter what. But with practice comes improvement. #cat #hands #digitalart #painting #drawing #artwork #art #artist #sketch

Keeping it loose with my sketches at the moment, trying to feel my way with them rather than focusing too much on the details. #portrait #darkart #art #artist #sketch #doodle #painting #drawing

I am on another planet right now and I didn’t bring all of my art stuff with me, just my iPad. So I did a digital sketch this evening to flex the old creativity muscles! #digitalart #artwork #art #skull #skullart #darkart #painting #drawing #weirdart #doodle #sketch

She’s coming along. My first real adventure with oils and I am enjoying it. Already planning my follow piece (probably something with less fur!) #cat #rebel #oils #oilpainting #painting #artwork #artist #art #popsurreal

I had had people point fun and laugh at this artwork before. The irony is that’s why I created it, it’s not supposed to fit in to what we expect! #beauty #portrait #cat #procreate #digitalart #painting #popsurreal #artwork #darkart #drawing

True to my way of learning, after my small tester in my sketchbook I decided to do a larger A2 size oil painting as my first proper attempt to use oil! Still obviously a WIP by coming along #painting #oil #oilpainting #cat #artwork #artist #artwork #artist

My first experiment with alcohol markers about 18 months ago. I didn’t have many colours so I decided to do a green version of Koba from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, because, why not!! #markers #fanart #art #artist #artwork #drawing

My first ever oil painting!! Though it was about time to give them a try and this is my first little practice. No I didn’t prep the rag, just went straight in for a first try, it’s just a sketchbook doodle #oils #oilpainting #painting #sketchbook #lego #legoman #art #artwork #artist
