Flat (Headingley), acrylics, December 2014. Spent the last few days working on this during the Christmas break from work. This must be the first non-life piece I've done in a few years! Bonus fact about my flat - J. R. R. Tolkien lived next door whilst he was a reader at the University of Leeds.

Peter Capaldi, acrylics, October 2014. My first painting in quite some time, this piece has taken approximately eight hours over four days. I'm quite happy overall but there are definitely areas to improve on in future. And yes, I'm really enjoying the series so far :)

This week's session. The class is having a break until September, so unless I find somewhere else to go, I may start sketching other things.

This week's session. An hour and a half pose this time, keeping it a touch conservative with the old black and white pencils. I was still pretty happy with the outcome.

This week's session. Going crazy for ink! Though it seems brown ink is harder to use than black...
