The usual parade of glum and suspicious late night portraits… Sherry says the third one is how I’ll look when I’m seventy! In the second one my mouth is my third hand, holding the extra brush-pen I’m using. By the next one I’d used elastic to attach two brush-pens together, creating a reversible double-ended ink-brush, much easier to use, if a little odd looking… The first one was done using Derwent Inktense pencils, currently challenging bush-pens as my favourite sketching medium; a dab of water and line becomes tone.

Derwent Inktense pencils, Lexington grey and Brown 41 in brush-pen and water-brush, watercolour, A5 – about 20 mins each, as it was late and I wanted to get to bed
