I'm putting some recent still-life oil paintings into this great exhibition in August

I like pencils; I especially like this pencil that belongs to my father-in-law. I like it because I can get a long lead on it without having to sharpen it every two minutes. The lead broke on it this morning and I don't have any more that size.

So I started looking into it. Turns out it's an Eversharp which were really popular pencils in the 1910/20's, they pumped out about 12,000,000 in partnership with Whal (the American firm not the more recent British firm that makes great hair trimmers!) and, eventually, taken over by Parker I believe.

Anyway, I found the instructions which lead (pun intended) me to an eraser on the end and also a stash of lead under the eraser!

However, I would like some softer lead so if anyone knows where to get 1.2mm B/2B/4B lead, please let me know, I'd be most grateful!

So I'll write a book
About dumping in the sea
Don't let it near me

We moved into a new place just before Christmas. There was this thing being used as a doorstop. Didn't give it another thought until this morning. Turns out it's a press with an address 😀

Can't wait to see the changes at the National Portrait Gallery! In the meantime, here's some of mine

Keeping my hand in with the pet portraits too. Varnished and framed, she's ready to go home.

I love a bit of painting en plein air ❤️ it's so good to stop and look at things

The enthusiasm for painting on a Sunday morning is contagious, they get me motivated 😍

Had a go with the RA Sketch Club last week. This was a life drawing class by Emyr Williams, really enjoyed it! There's more classed coming up I might join in with https://www.royalacademy.org.uk/events/tag/saturday-sketch-club

Getting a feel for the new studio space - lovely north-ish facing windows for when I get the chance to paint all day 🤞 Here's some plants in a pot on a Sunday morning.

Nice view of Margate from here

'I can't get out' small gouache on paper. It's about a person trapped in their own thoughts/mind and who can't see anyone else's reality even though they try.

Emily 'cutting and sticking' 2 minute drawing

A self portrait is taking shape in acrylics on a large reclaimed canvas.

It was lovely, bright, and sunny today! I did this with pen & gouache instead, which was nice. Another Time.

Thanet friends might recognise the location

Finally unpacking the art materials, whoop! I don't remember anything about my art teacher at school other than the way he pronounced Gouache

These self-portraits were enjoyable

When I don't have time to get the oil paints out, I love doing digital drawings. I think this is someone sitting on the floor with a stuffed belly.

Dead In The Water - Adrian Lloyd Art | OpenSea The traffickers were paid, they nearly made it. Digital painting.

A pen and wash interpretation of an Amanda Hyatt piece. It's amazing the atmosphere that can be created with a pen and a couple of water colours, love it!

If something is not right and it is within your power to do so you must change it, even if you lose it all. I love charcoal.

This painting is in an exhibition helping to celebrate Ramsgate Harbour becoming a Royal Harbour 200 years ago. I also made the oak frame on this one so it's a bit special

This is great! Helping people who are blind or visually impaired to experience art with touch and smells
